Journalist Edward Malone, rejected by the woman he loves because he is too prosaic, decides to go in search of adventure and fame to prove himself worthy of her. Soon after, he meets Professor George Challenger, a scientist who claims to have discovered a 'lost world' populated by pterodactyls and other prehistoric monsters. The Poison Belt [Book #2][64 pages] - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Poison-Belt-Arthur-Conan-Doyle-ebook/dp/B0083Z64UY/ Must Professor George Challenger and friends, barricaded in a room, see Earth die? As globe passes through a belt of poisonous ether, terror sweeps mankind; cities riot; communications cease. NONFICTION A Visit to Three Fronts: June 1916 [35 pages] - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Visit-Three-Fronts-June-1916-ebook/dp/B00847U3CG/ The book is a glorious effort on the part of the author to record the impressions that he formed during his visit to the fronts of the Western Allies during World War I. The book was written in appreciation of the valiant and bold soldiers who fought for their countrymen and whose efforts were being belittled due to increasing rumors. The Crime of the Congo [238 pages] - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Crime-Congo-Arthur-Conan-Doyle-ebook/dp/B006FLCCOU/ In “The Crime of the Congo”, Doyle documents the atrocities committed in the Congo Free State, the personal possession of Leopold II of Belgium. Thousands of native Africans were forced to labor on rubber plantations for the benefit of their colonial overlords. The abuses of the Congo Free State, and worldwide denunciations when they came to light, were instrumental in the Belgian government assuming responsibility of the territory, and renaming it the Belgian Congo. The Great Boer War [568 pages] - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Great-Boer-Arthur-Conan-Doyle-ebook/dp/B00846R62C/ Arthur Conan Doyle made his reputation as a novelist, but far stranger than fiction is the creator of Sherlock Holmes' tale of the Boer War in South Africa. The then 40-year-old novelist wanted to see the war first hand as a soldier, but the Victorian army balked at having a popular author wielding a pen in its ranks. The army did accept him as a doctor and Doyle was knighted in 1902 for his work with a field hospital in Bloemfontein. Doyle's vivid account of the battles is in part thanks to the eye-witness accounts he got from his patients. Doyle has thoroughly mastered the details of the campaign, and presents them in a form that can be easily understood. Furthermore, his descriptions of the various engagements are masterpieces of graphic writing. Through the Magic Door [99 pages] - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Through-Magic-Arthur-Conan-Doyle-ebook/dp/B004TOP6PM/ Through the Magic Door (1907) is an essay by Arthur Conan Doyle: his subject is the charisma and charm of books. Doyle invites readers to enjoy the greatest minds of all times through what they have left behind and argues that, when we read, the selfishness and hopelessness of the world can be left behind. ROMANCE Beyond the City [94 pages] - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Beyond-City-Arthur-Conan-Doyle-ebook/dp/B0084B57U0/ A blithe, airy, domestic romance -- completely unlike the adventures of Sherlock Holmes -- about the residents of three new, adjoining, suburban villas: A retired admiral and his wife and stockbroker son; a widowed doctor and his two pretty daughters; and a militant feminist and her stolid nephew. The lives of young and old neighbors intertwine in sometimes surprising ways. HISTORICAL FICTION Micah Clarke [362 pages] – https://www.amazon.co.uk/Clarke-Statement-grandchildren-Joseph-Gervas-ebook/dp/B00848219S/ A delightful tale by Conan Doyle that highlights a long-forgotten chapter of British history, Lord Monmouth's unsuccessful rising against James II. As anyone familiar with the Holmes canon can understand, the story-telling more than makes up for the someone stilted dialogue. Surprisingly entertaining -- and worth a look by Sherlock Holmes' aficionados. SHORT STORIES Round the Red Lamp [168 pages] - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Round-Lamp-Arthur-Conan-Doyle-ebook/dp/B0083ZIOAW/ Round the Red Lamp is a collection of loosely medical themed stories - mostly about doctors in one way or another. One or two falls in science fiction or adventure category, but most are straightforward fiction. Tales of Terror and Mystery [278 pages] - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tales-Terror-Mystery-Arthur-Conan-ebook/dp/B0082Z3DYA/ Tales of Terror and Mystery is a spellbinding collection of twelve stories from Arthur Conan Doyle. These tales are not for the faint of heart. There are engrossing plot twists, surprises and captivating characters. This volume is separated into two movements; Tales of Terror contains six terrifying horror stories, and with Tales Of Mystery readers will find six short masterpieces of suspense fiction. The Captain of the Polestar and Other Tales [262 pages] - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Captain-Polestar-Other-Tales-ebook/dp/B00AQMZ7FU/ The Captain of the Polestar and Other Tales is a volume collecting 10 short mystery, horror and ghost stories. The Great Keinplatz Experiment and Other Tales of Twilight and the Unseen [237 pages] - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Great-Keinplatz-Experiment-Twilight-Unseen-ebook/dp/B004TRXMCS/ A collection of stories, concerned with ghosts, obscure scientific experiments, and other unexplained phenomena. First published in 1922, this collection will offer the opportunity to discover a lesser-known side of this master storyteller's ability to surprise and enthrall. The Dealings of Captain Sharkey and Other Tales of Pirates [237 pages] - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dealings-Captain-Sharkey-Other-Pirates-ebook/dp/B004UJA9CQ/ A wonderful collection of pirate stories The Gully of Bluemansdyke And Other stories [258 pages] - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gully-Bluemansdyke-Other-stories-ebook/dp/B00AQM5VUQ/ This is a pleasant collection of seven mystery stories. Two of the stories are related to each other; but the remainder have no common theme. Three of the stories are set on the frontier of Australia; one is set in Budapest; one, on the Caithness coast of Scotland; one, on a transatlantic steamer; and one, in the Russian Empire, about a hundred miles north of Odessa. The Last of the Legions and Other Tales of Long Ago [162 pages] - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Last-Legions-Other-Tales-Long-ebook/dp/B004UJWKVY/ This is a mix of historical fiction stories, all linked to Rome. They are short, but well formed and enjoyable. A decent read, which is easy to pick up and put down. The Last Galley Impressions and Tales [205 pages] - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Last-Galley-Impressions-Tales-ebook/dp/B00847L2EE/ A collection of eighteen short stories by the great Victorian wordsmith. This book can be split into two parts; the first is a series of vignettes that start at the fall of Carthage to the growing Roman Empire, and continue through to the collapse of the Western Empire and the beginnings of Islam, covering some of the key points in Roman History. The second part of the book contains a series of unrelated short stories closer to the present day. The Man from Archangel and Other Tales of Adventure [260 pages] - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Man-Archangel-Other-Tales-Adventure-ebook/dp/B004UJB4PW/ A delightful anthology of adventure and medical short stories. ADVENTURE Rodney Stone [240 pages] - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rodney-Stone-Arthur-Conan-Doyle-ebook/dp/B0082QAZAY/ Rodney Stone and his friend Jim, two young lads from the country, find themselves drawn into the racy. colourful but dangerous world of boxing and gambling, and become involved in a series of exciting adventures set in an England where the Prince Regent is all but King and Lord Nelson all but God. The Refugees - A Tale of Two Continents [396 pages] - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Refugees-Tale-Two-Continents-ebook/dp/B00AQMCLYA/ This book presents a fictional account of a chain of events leading to the revocation of the 'Edict of Nantes', thereby withdrawing the royal protection from France's protestant minority. The novel follows a family who are forced to migrate to America and the experiences they face with supposedly savage Iroquois tribes. Here Doyle leans on the French propaganda (Jesuit propaganda, to be precise) of portraying Red Indians as savages and fabricating narratives of them inflicting brutal torture on the Europeans. Doyle being a man of his time cannot be blamed for this. Otherwise the novel is as gripping as his Detective, Science Fiction or supernatural works. The Tragedy of the Korosko [141 pages] - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tragedy-Korosko-Arthur-Conan-Doyle-ebook/dp/B0083ZQ2YC/ Written in 1898, Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic tale of high adventure portrays an alarmist era of imperial sovereignty, invasive foreign policy, and religious extremism, positing the naivety of a group of Anglo-American holiday-makers against the unbending convictions of Middle Eastern banditti. Among others, a young American ingenue, her matronly aunt, a fusty old bachelor, a loving Irish couple, and an opinionated French graduate gather aboard the Korosko. But during a morning tour of the desert, they are taken hostage by a group whose intention it is either to convert them to Islam or to kill them. Conan Doyle brings his mastery of thrills and suspense to bear on this extraordinary tale of East meets West. SIR NIGEL AND THE WHITE COMPANY (companion books) Sir Nigel [Book #1][583 pages] - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sir-Nigel-Arthur-Conan-Doyle-ebook/dp/B0083Z9ZEQ/ Sir Nigel is a historical novel set during the Hundred Years' War, by the British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Written in 1906, it is a fore-runner to Doyle's earlier novel The White Company, and describes the early life of that book's hero Sir Nigel Loring in the service of King Edward III at the start of the Hundred Years' War. The White Company [Book #2][267 pages] - https://www.amazon.co.uk/White-Company-Arthur-Conan-Doyle-ebook/dp/B0084AVGPG/ The White Company is a historical adventure, set during the Hundred Years' War. The story is set in England, France, and Spain, in the years 1366 and 1367, against the background of the campaign of Edward, the Black Prince, to restore Peter of Castile to the throne of the Kingdom of Castile. The climax of the book occurs before the Battle of Nájera. Doyle became inspired to write the novel after attending a lecture on the Middle Ages in 1889. After extensive research, The White Company was published in serialized form in 1891 in Cornhill Magazine. Additionally, the book is considered a companion to Doyle's 1905-06 Sir Nigel, which explores the early campaigns of Sir Nigel Loring and Samkin Aylward. BRIGADIER GERARD Uncle Bernac [174 pages] - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Uncle-Bernac-Memory-Empire-Arthur-ebook/dp/B0084BNQTE/ This often overlooked novella is actually part of the Brigadier Gerard saga and slots between "How the Brigadier Played for a Kingdom" and "The Crime of the Brigadier" told in the Exploits of Brigadier Gerard, although the hero of the piece is Louis de Laval. Laval returns to France in 1805 from his family's exile in England with the intention of joining Napoleon's army and proving his loyalty to the emperor. Smuggled in under the cover of darkness on an unfamiliar part of the coast line, he stumbles upon a plot to assassinate Napoleon and becomes involved in the intrigues and adventures that follow. The short novel published in 1897 is very readable and entertaining but was completely overshadowed by the more popular Gerard stories. The Exploits of Brigadier Gerard [223 pages] - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Exploits-Brigadier-Gerard-Arthur-Conan-ebook/dp/B0082V5BU8/ Brigadier Gerard is the hero of a series of historical short stories by the British writer Arthur Conan Doyle. The hero, Etienne Gerard, is a Hussar officer in the French Army during the Napoleonic Wars. Gerard's most notable attribute is his vanity - he is utterly convinced that he is the bravest soldier, greatest swordsman, most accomplished horseman and most gallant lover in all France. Gerard is not entirely wrong, since he displays notable bravery on many occasions, but his self-satisfaction undercuts this quite often. Obsessed with honour and glory, he is always ready with a stirring speech or a gallant remark to a lady. Conan Doyle, in making his hero a vain, and often rather uncomprehending, Frenchman, was able to satirise both the stereotypical English view of the French and - by presenting them from Gerard's baffled point of view - English manners and attitudes.

Changes come with the arrival of Raffles Haw, a new neighbor both exceedingly rich and exceedingly eccentric. His generosity is unquestioned. His motives are another matter. Is Raffles Haw the solution to their problems, or another source of them? Robert and Laura will find out. The Firm of Girdlestone [377 pages] - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Firm-Girdlestone-Arthur-Conan-Doyle-ebook/dp/B004TR1JWS/ The story is about John Girdlestone and his son, Ezra who have quite a dreadful problem.

One of their schemes to restore stability to their firm includes Kate Harston, the Girdlestone's ward after the unfortunate death of her father. On the occasion of her 21st birthday, she will inherit her father's fortune. If only there was a way for that money to come to the Girdlestones instead... The Mystery of Cloomber [170 pages] - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mystery-Cloomber-Arthur-Conan-Doyle-ebook/dp/B008478UF8/ Master of detective fiction, Arthur Conan Doyle here reveals his deep fascination with spiritualism and the paranormal. To his fellow residents on the remote western coast of Scotland, Major Heatherstone’s behavior seems far from orthodox. Spurning all attempts at friendship, he instead becomes a recluse in Cloomber Hall, forbidding his children even to leave their home. Yet unbeknownst to him, they strike up a friendship with the neighboring Hunter Wests, who slowly begin to learn the cause of the Major’s paranoia and his fear of the fifth of October. As September draws to a close, and as they hear of the mysterious arrival of three Buddhist monks, they can only watch in vain. It seems the Major’s secret will not be laid to rest until vengeance is done.
