A collection of short stories, by the creator of Sherlock Holmes, including the future war story "Danger!" and the science fiction tale "The Horror from the Heights," "The Fall of Lord Barrymore," "The Prisoner's Defence," and "The Surgeon of Gaster Fall." The title story covers 49 pages and was written about eighteen months before the outbreak of The First World War, the author's intention being "to direct public attention to the great danger which threatened this country." .

About the Author
Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh in 1859. Sent off to boarding school, he cut his teeth as a story-teller amusing his schoolmates with tales and writing letters home to his mother. He practiced medicine and, in 1900, volunteered as a medic in Africa during the Boer War – he was later knighted for his service. Doyle lost a son, two brothers in law, and two nephews to the Great War. He is remembered for the Sherlock Holmes stories and his novel “The Lost World.”
