The Lost World: A Professor Challenger Adventure
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
A rip-roaring adventure from the supreme, fantasy storyteller. Professor Challenger is considered something of a mad professor for his tales of dinosaurs roaming around South America. A naive and eager young journalist, a sceptical professor and a hunter comprise the rest of an expedition to prove these outrageous claims one way or another. When a native American seeking revenge on one member of the party leaves them stranded deep in the jungle, they face untold dangers. Stumbling into a forgotten world, they encounter species thought long extinct, must confront strange, menacing creatures, and ultimately become embroiled in a war. Fighting to survive and escape, these men must band together, using every ounce of their skill and ingenuity in this thoroughly enjoyable tale of discovery and wonder. FLAME TREE 451: From mystery to crime, supernatural to horror and fantasy to science fiction, Flame Tree 451 offers a healthy diet of werewolves and mechanical men, blood-lusty vampires, dastardly villains, mad scientists, secret worlds, lost civilizations and escapist fantasies. Discover a storehouse of tales gathered specifically for the reader of the fantastic.Each book features a brand new biography and glossary of Literary, Gothic and Victorian terms.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Scottish writer and master storyteller Arthur Conan Doyle was born in 1859. As a medical student he was so impressed by his professor’s powers of deduction that he was inspired to create the illustrious and much-loved figure Sherlock Holmes. However in contrast to his scientific background, Conan Doyle became increasingly interested in spiritualism, leaving him keen to explore other fantastical elements in stories such as The Lost World.
