Glen McCready
The sequel to The Lost World, Arthur Conan Doyle's Poison Belt reunites the ever-popular Professor Challenger, intrepid journalist Edward Malone, dashing Lord John Roxton, and the querulous Professor Summerlee for yet another adventure.
When a sinister poison envelops the earth, the entire human race teeters on the brink of destruction, forcing the comrades to implement a desperate plan for survival.
A cryptic telegram, a mysterious airborne poison, and an eerie journey around post-apocalyptic London - this is vintage Conan Doyle. Glen McCready's exhilarating reading brings all the tension and excitement of this classic tale vividly to life.

Reseñas editoriales
In Doyle's short novel featuring Professor Challenger, the earth moves through a poisonous belt of the "ether" - the stuff supposedly filling space - and the protagonists observe what seems to be the end of all life. The novel, though a classic of science fiction, is painfully dated in its science and in its casual racism, which only surfaces occasionally but is off-putting. But Glen McCready's genial narration helps. He supplies appropriate voices for the major characters, including the rumbling, bull-like Professor Challenger, his dainty wife, and the drawling Lord Roxton. Overall, McCready delivers the somewhat talky text with careful expressiveness, helping to bring it to life.

In this short story, the group witnesses humanity teeter on the brink of extinction. The novel explores both the fragility of life and human resilience, all while showcasing the distinct personalities of its beloved characters. While not as action-packed as The Lost World, The Poison Belt is an engrossing, thought-provoking read. It’s a great little story that proves Doyle’s Challenger series has much more to offer than just dinosaurs.
If you adored the dynamic of these characters in their previous adventure, you'll appreciate this unique journey as well!

I found this story even less interesting, and definitely more racists and sexist.
Most of the time is spent blabbing on about how worried they are, without anything actually happening.
The narration is absolutely perfect though.
Meh. Great narrator, weak story

Perhaps the very idea of the book was flawed. Without giving anything away, let’s just say the plot leaves scant room for entertainment. After a suitably intriguing kickoff, there's precious little in the way of action, snappy dialogue, or humorous banter. Moreover, it's obvious that the worldwide disaster described here has to be reversed -- or else, for whom is our hero/journalist/narrator writing? Certainly, Glen McCready did his very best with the script he had, but even his talents couldn’t save this one.
