Sir Arthur Conan Doyle needs no introduction. For anyone who is even remotely familiar with Sherlock Holmes, Doyle’s most popular character – as well as one of the most famous fictional detectives of all time – Doyle’s brilliant logic and highly imaginative storylines are already quite well-known.As a sequel to Doyle’s successful novel, The Lost World, The Poison Belt comes as a completely unconventional novella that – like most of the author’s works – took the world by storm when it was first published.The tale reintroduces us to the brilliant but quite arrogant Professor George Challenger who now resides peacefully in his home outside London. His discoveries, however, are quite startling, and he soon finds himself forced to take drastic measures in order to save himself and his friends from imminent danger: a poisonous cloud of ether that he predicts the Earth would pass through very shortly.Wasting no time, Challenger sends telegrams to all of his three companions from The Lost World – Lord John Roxton, Edward Malone and Professor Summerlee – and instructs them all to “bring oxygen,” as he correctly assumes that the intake of excess oxygen can counter the effects of the poison cloud. Sealing themselves in an isolated room, Challenger and his friends impatiently await the passing of the cloud, hoping that once they emerge from the sealed room, the danger will have passed.The Poison Belt is one of the most intriguing stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle on a subject that was quite uncommon at the time, and more likely to be found in science fiction novels.The fascinating psychological evolution of Doyle’s characters, the creative developments of the story and the author’s unmistakable style will all make for a delightful read that still remains a brilliant example pointing out just how much it would take for humanity to change its ways.
