  “Bring oxygen – Challenger.” The gang from ‘The Lost World’ is back together, but the reunion is much more dramatic than they had hoped. As Professor Challenger has predicted, the Earth is moving into a belt of poisonous ether and their only chance of survival is joining him in his house and watch the whole shebang go down together. Though very different from the first in the series, ‘The Poison Belt‘ (1913) is equally interesting and can be enjoyed in its own right. Like in his Sherlock Holmes series Conan Doyle displays, in the Challenger books, a knack for writing memorable characters and situations; his description of people going crazy from the ether will have you in hysterics. 
  Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was a British writer, best known for his thrilling stories about the adventures of the detective Sherlock Holmes. He published four novels and more than 50 short stories starring Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. The stories are seen as important milestones in the history of crime fiction.

  A desperate man. A deadly theory. A guilt that will consume him alive. 
  In the sweltering, claustrophobic slums of 19th-century St. Petersburg, a brilliant but destitute ex-student named Rodion Raskolnikov is losing his grip on reality. Crushed by poverty and alienated from society, he hatches a terrifyingly logical plan: the murder of a vile, unscrupulous pawnbroker. He convinces himself that the act is morally justified, a necessary stepping stone to his own greatness and the financial salvation of his family. But crossing the line of blood fractures Raskolnikov's soul in ways he could never have anticipated. 
  As the walls close in and a cunning police investigator begins to circle, Raskolnikov finds himself trapped in a suffocating web of his own design. Driven to the brink of madness by isolation and his own harrowing conscience, he must navigate an underworld of drunkards, desperate women, and shattered dreams to find a glimmer of redemption. 
  Why you will love this: This unabridged audiobook delivers a masterclass in tension, cementing itself as the absolute pinnacle of Psychological Fiction. You will be utterly gripped by this suspenseful thriller, as Dostoevsky seamlessly weaves together a profound character study, grim philosophical tropes, and a riveting cat-and-mouse detective plot that explores the very limits of morality.
