Arthur Conan Doyle & Kenneth Pinnock, B.A. · 4 novels · 2 novelettes · 3 short stories · 2 collections · 1912–2025
Arthur Conan Doyle's Professor Challenger series follows the combative, larger-than-life scientist George Edward Challenger through adventure tales that blend Edwardian-era adventure fiction with early science fiction, beginning with The Lost World (1912) and continuing through The Poison Belt and The Land of Mist, alongside two further short stories about the character. The series sits within the professor-challenger-metaverse alongside later omnibus and collected editions of the same core stories.
