Definitely an adventure story with all the elements of one that you‘d want. The idea reminded me of Frankenstein—scientific assertions without believable explanation. I wouldn‘t say Challenger is the opposite of Holmes, like the introduction says. Opposite in appearance, maybe, but not in confidence and derision. There was an annoying amount of white race superiority. I enjoy Doyle‘s writing style, but the story wasn‘t one that really stuck.
