The Lost World

Michael Crichton


Set soon after the close of Jurassic Park, this novel follows the events that transpire as a group of scientists set off on an expedition to follow up on reported sightings of giant lizards on an island off the coast of Costa Rica. These sightings have lent credence to local myths of a "Lost World." The lost world proves to be real, a result of animals having escaped the destruction of Jurassic Park, or (perhaps) a second site for the Jurassic Experiment.
