"For years, theater director Bryan Doerries has led an innovative public health project that produces ancient tragedies for current and returned soldiers, addicts, tornado and hurricane survivors, and a wide range of other at-risk people in society. Drawing on these extraordinary firsthand experiences, Doerries clearly and powerfully illustrates the redemptive and therapeutic potential of this classical, timeless art: how, for example, Ajax can help soldiers and their loved ones better understand and grapple with PTSD, or how Prometheus Bound provides new insights into the modern penal system."--Jacket flap.

Well, another strange Professor Challenger story - #4 apparently, although I am not too sure the order is strictly correct. Nevertheless, this is a short story, originally published in Liberty Magazine, 25 February-3 March 1928.
It is presented as a story told by Peerless Jones, an artesian boring expert and friend of Ed Malone. In it he describes a letter he receives from Challenger, a meeting with the man himself, and Challengers deep bore experiment on Mother Earth - and the subsequent repercussions!
Yes, it is better than The Land of Mist which was frankly awful, but it doesn't have much to offer really. Only for die hard fans, or people like me who are unable to resist reading the series.
