Hadn't previously seen other Professor Challenger stories. This volume was a birthday gift from Charlie . . . who had received it from Carol.
The Poison Belt - the earth passes through an area of space that threatens to wipe out human life.
The Land of Mist - this is just pretty weird - ACD was into the occult stuff (as was the case for many of his era).
The Disintegration Machine - short, just what it sounds like, the inventor is trying to sell it to a hostile foreign power.
When the World Screamed - Challenger leads a deep dig.
Generally the same characters as in The Lost World. Bickering with Summerlee. Lord John Roxton. Malone.
