The Lost World

by Michael Crichton

They thought Jurassic Park was the only one. They were wrong.

With the highest grossing film in cinema history, Jurassic Park invented the word dinomania which swept the country in 1993. Now, the events prefaced in the epilogue to that novel are explored in this sequel.

What this book is about

Six years after the Jurassic Park disaster, Dr. Ian Malcolm is pulled into an expedition to a second island where InGen ran secret experiments—and where the dinosaurs have evolved in isolation without human management. Crichton's sequel delivers more action, more dinosaurs, and a meditation on complexity theory applied to ecosystems.
