Episode Six: Onwards and Upwards

Ranny Dobbins, renowned ghost hunter, is here for a seasonal special. This time Ranny is investigating a seemingly normal DAB Radio, which may or may not be haunted by the ghost of an English Civil War General. Is it a ghost? Or is it not actually a ghost at all? We'll never know. But I think it's a ghost. 

In the action-packed finale to their adventures together, Peregrine and Challenger race against time to discover the location of Shangri-La, fend off the Cult of the Elder God, restore Challenger to life, and unravel a mystery that has dogged every step they have taken since Peregrine’s childhood: can he finally prove that he isn’t a disappointment after all…?

On a quest from Challenger to discover the location of a second pillar of fire, even the dangers of the floor of the Pacific Ocean can’t compare to what awaits Peregrine at a luxury resort on a mysterious island, as his honeymoon with Enid is resolutely high-jacked by the spectral form of her dead father…

As a remedy for his grief, Peregrine is dragged by acquaintances to a challenging bachelor party, before his nuptials to Enid get off to a rocky start with the appearance of an unexpected, and terrifyingly stubborn surprise wedding guest…

Leaving an increasing number of corpses in their wake, Peregrine and Challenger voyage across Africa, taking in sights, sounds, and avoidable injuries, as they close in on the secret base of the Cult of the Elder God, deep within the lost city of Kor…

Peregrine’s woes continue to escalate, for, no sooner have they escaped the villainous Maximillian Hoffmann, then Challenger and his unwilling compatriot must contend with an inept cruise-line, a belligerent European detective, and the harsh reality of gentrification, as they continue their journey to rescue Enid from the clutches of the Cult of the Elder God…

In the throes of diminishing novel sales, Philip Peregrine finds himself once again accosted by Professor Challenger, this time with a mission to rescue his kidnapped daughter. With Enid’s life in danger, Peregrine is faced with a terrible decision…does he want a quiet life, or a plot for a new adventure story…?

This December, they're back again! Join Professor Challenger (and his long suffering companion, Peregrine) in their final adventure, which promises to be the most incredible of all!   Anthology presents Professor Challenger at the Cusp of Mortality, by Robert Thomas, Darren Freebury-Jones and Robert Durbin. Based on characters created by Arthur Conan Doyle.

In the pulse-quickening season finale, Professor Challenger prepares to escape from the centre of the Earth, but Philip Peregrine must make a choice: a comfortable office job and lake-side family home, or a last ditch attempt to stop the villainous Heinrich von Hemlich once and for all (and to take responsibility for his outstanding bar tab in London).

Being abandoned by Challenger and marooned in the North Atlantic is the least of Peregrine's worries, as, forced to align with the villainous Heinrich von Heimlich, he will soon find himself in even deeper trouble...
