The Lost World

Before Jurassic Park there was The Lost World.

This classic terror-adventure novel has set the standard for today’s popular entertainment as followed by Michael Crichton and Steven Spielberg. Featuring the bold Professor Challenger a character many critics consider one of the most finely drawn in science fiction The Lost World is the account of a scientific expedition by four high-spirited Englishmen—two scientists a big-game hunter and a journalist—deep into the Amazon jungle. In this region cut off from the outside world by unscalable vertical cliffs and fetid swamps they encounter a world where dinosaurs roam free and natives fight a murderous war with their fierce neighbors the ape-men. Trapped on the isolated plateau with only hunting rifles as protection the four must use savvy and intellect to escape from this primeval terror.
