'You said that you wanted danger, didn't you,' says McArdle, the editor of the Daily Gazette. And he sends his young reporter, Malone, on a strange journey into South America with the famous Professor Challenger. Challenger believes he can find a lost world full of dinosaurs in the middle of the Amazon forest. But this world is dangerous to reach, and, once the Professor and his small group of explorers arrive, things get even more dangerous for them. Will they return alive?
Profesor Challenger a jeho spoločníci, starí známi z románu Stratený svet, sa opäť stretávajú za neobyčajných okolností. Profesor, arogantnejší a výbušnejší než kedykoľvek predtým, sa so zvláštnou žiadosťou obráti na svojich (pravdepodobne jediných) priateľov a pozve ich do svojho domu na vidieku. Už samotná cesta sa začína pomerne podivne. Ešte o tom nevedia, ale svet sa rúti do záhuby. Celá Zem sa totiž ponára do pásma jedovatého éteru, ktorý otrávi a usmrtí všetko živé. Ani sám profesor Challenger nedokáže tento proces zvrátiť, a tak sa stanú pozorovateľmi globálnej katastrofy a novinár Malone jej posledným zapisovateľom. V knihe okrem románu Pás plný jedu nájdete aj dva kratšie príbehy o Challengerovi: Stroj, ktorý všetko rozloží a Keď svet skríkol. Dobrodružstvá aj v tomto zväzku ilustrujú obrázky Martina Mrvu, nádherne spájajúce fantáziu, ducha starého Anglicka a vedu.
