When The World Screamed

When the World Screamed

by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

When a peculiar artesian borer named Mr. Peerless Jones is contacted by the renowned but eccentric Professor Challenger, he finds himself drawn into a plan as outlandish as it is potentially world-altering. Challenger's request involves a risky undertaking, one that could unveil a shocking truth about the universe. Jones, persuaded by his friend Malone, who has prior experience with Challenger's eccentricities, embarks on this perilous journey. The narrative follows their encounters with danger, scientific marvels, and the unsettling possibility that the Earth itself might be screaming out a warning. 'When the World Screamed' is a thrilling tale of adventure, scientific discovery, and the human thirst for understanding the unknown, even when the cost is high.
