When the World Screamed

Well, another strange Professor Challenger story - #4 apparently, although I am not too sure the order is strictly correct. Nevertheless, this is a short story, originally published in Liberty Magazine, 25 February-3 March 1928.

It is presented as a story told by Peerless Jones, an artesian boring expert and friend of Ed Malone. In it he describes a letter he receives from Challenger, a meeting with the man himself, and Challengers deep bore experiment on Mother Earth - and the subsequent repercussions!

Yes, it is better than The Land of Mist which was frankly awful, but it doesn't have much to offer really. Only for die hard fans, or people like me who are unable to resist reading the series.
