The Lost World: A Novel
by Michael Crichton
"A thriller that's been millions of years in the making."
🦖 SCIENCE FICTION | THRILLER | ACTION
Essential reading for fans of high-stakes science fiction, intense thrillers, and the Jurassic Park universe.
Extended Synopsis
It has been six years since the secret disaster at Jurassic Park, six years since the extraordinary dream of science and imagination came to a crashing end. The dinosaurs were destroyed, the park dismantled, and the island indefinitely closed to the public. But the nightmare isn't over. Rumors are surfacing that something has survived on an isolated secondary island.
In this smash-hit sequel to Jurassic Park, Michael Crichton returns to the terrifying world of genetically engineered dinosaurs. The story follows a new expedition thrust into a harrowing battle for survival against nature's most formidable predators. Fast-paced and packed with gripping action, The Lost World delivers an edge-of-the-seat tale that challenges the boundaries of genetic ethics and human control.
