Summary: "The Poison Belt" by Arthur Conan Doyle is a science fiction novel written during the early 20th century. The story centers around a group of familiar characters from Doyle's earlier works, including Professor George E. Challenger, Lord John Roxton, Professor Summerlee, and journalist Mr. E. D. Malone, as they confront a looming global catastrophe caused by a mysterious cosmic event. As the narrative unfolds, the team grapples with scientific theories and existential fears, leading them to a powerful exploration of human nature in the face of potential oblivion. At the start of the novel, the narrative is introduced by Malone, who recounts the events leading to this peculiar situation. The group gathers at Challenger's home to commemorate their previous adventures, only to discover that an alarming letter from Challenger has set the stage for an imminent disaster. Challenger theorizes that Earth is entering a "poison belt" of ether that could lead to catastrophic effects on humanity. As the story progresses, the characters experience strange symptoms linked to the ether, and they scramble to find a solution, ultimately locating oxygen tanks to counteract the poison. The opening chapters set a tense and dramatic tone as they foreshadow an extraordinary crisis that threatens the very survival of mankind. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
