eBook: In "The New Revelation" the first dawn of the coming change has been described. In "The Vital Message" the sun has risen higher, and one sees more clearly and broadly what our new relations with the Unseen may be. As I look into the future of the human race I am reminded of how once, from amid the bleak chaos of rock and snow at the head of an Alpine pass, I looked down upon the far stretching view of Lombardy, shimmering in the sunshine and extending in one splendid panorama of blue lakes and green rolling hills until it melted into the golden haze which draped the far horizon. Such a promised land is at our very feet which, when we attain it, will make our present civilisation seem barren and uncouth. Already our vanguard is well over the pass. Nothing can now prevent us from reaching that wonderful land which stretches so clearly before those eyes which are opened to see it.

eBook: This historical novel, first published in 1889, was Doyle's third book -- his first hardcover one, preceded only by the two paper-wrappered titles A Study in Scarlet and The Mystery of Cloomber. Micah Clarke was quite successful, running through several quick printings, though Doyle had to take it to numerous publishers before Andrew Lang at Longmans finally accepted it. Doyle brought together his knowledge of the seventeenth century and supplemented it with months of research on detail. Then, at intervals of tramping medical rounds or studying optics at the Portsmouth Eye Hospital, he wrote the book in three months. Now the power of Micah Clarke, aside from its best action scenes -- the bloodhounds on Salisbury Plain, the brush with the King's Dragoons, the fight in Wells Cathedral, the blinding battle scene at Sedgemoor -- still lies in its characterization: that other imagination, the use of homely detail, by which each character grows into life before ever a shot is fired in war. It was attempt by Conan Doyle to present the story of the Puritans in a more favorable light than generally thought of in England at the time the book was written - a historical romance about the Monmouth rebellion and 'Hanging Judge' Jeffries. told by a humble adherent of the Duke of Monmouth - the whole story of the rising in Somerset, the triumphant advance towards Bristol and Bath, and the tragic rout at Sedgemoor (1685).

eBook: Román ze série Doyleových knih o profesoru Challengerovi, u nás především známém z knihy „Ztracený svět“. V tomto příběhu je již profesor Challenger starý a jak jeho manželka Jessie, tak i úhlavní nepřítel profesor Summerlee zemřeli. Hlavní hrdinkou knihy je Challengerova dcera Enid, která je přesvědčenou spiritistkou. Profesor na její vášeň hledí zprvu skepticky a snaží se s pomocí svých kolegů Edwarda Malonea a lorda Johna Roxtona proniknout na spiritistické seance a odhalit média jako podvodníky. Výsledkem je ale pravý opak - Malone s Roxtonem ve spiritismus uvěří, Enid se stává médiem a svému otci přináší ze záhrobí informace, které nikdo z živých nemůže znát. Doyle, který se sám spiritismem zabýval, tvrdil, že všechny spiritistické pokusy a jevy v této knize se zakládají na skutečnostech, které sám zažil a viděl, jen osoby a místa jsou prý pozměněny.

Dvě z těchto próz vycházejí česky vůbec poprvé, jsou to Záhada údolí Sasassa a Strašidlo pro Goresthorpe Grange. Svazek obsahuje mimo jiné novelu Parazit, která reflektuje autorův celoživotní zájem o paranormální jevy.Druhý svazek, jenž vychází současně, nese výmluvný název Dobrodružství na moři i na souši. Následující třetí se bude jmenovat Doktoři a další vědci a čtyřdílnou Doyleovskou sérii uzavřeme novým překladem slavného Psa baskervillského, jenž vyjde s doprovodem působivých dobových ilustrací.
