![]() ![]() Challenger tells his friends: "We are assisting at a tremendous and awful function." Like astronauts strapping themselves into a rocket, Challenger & Co. This adventure, however, takes place entirely in Challenger's home (in his wife's boudoir, in fact) outside London, which has been fortified with several hours' worth of oxygen. What would you do if you alone had discovered that the entire planet was about to be engulfed in a belt of poisonous "ether" from outer space - and that all humanity would die? Arthur Conan Doyle's intrepid Professor Challenger invites a hand-picked crew of adventurers and scientists - the very same comrades with whom he had romped through a South American jungle crawling with prehistoric monsters and beast-men in The Lost World, science fiction's first popular dinoasaurs-still-live tale. ![]()
