It is now 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 destroyed, the park dismantled, the island indefinitely closed to the public. But there are rumours that something survived. And when a team go to investigate, they are determined not to give it a chance to escape. Michael Cricton takes the terrifying events of Jurassic Park even further in this unstoppably readable adventure sequel, told by a master storyteller.

Review:
Written in the wake of Jurassic Park's phenomenal box-office success, The Lost World seems as much a guidebook for Hollywood types hard at work on the franchise's followup as it is a legitimate sci-fi thriller. Which begs the inevitable questions: Is the plot a rehash of the first book? Sure it is, with the action unfolding on yet another secluded island, the mysterious "Site B." Is the cast of characters basically the same? Absolutely, from a freshly minted pair of cute, compu-savvy kids right down to the neatly exhumed chaos theorist Ian Malcolm (who was presumed dead at the close of JP). But is it fun to read? You betcha. Hollywood (and Michael Crichton) keeps telling us the same old stories for a very good reason: we like them. And the pulp SF formula Crichton has mastered with Jurassic Park and The Lost World is no exception. --Paul Hughes

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Good. THEY'RE BACK! The corpses of large reptiles are being found on the Costa Rica coastline. And although the nightmare of John Hammond's Jurassic Park Park ended five years ago, rumours that dinosaurs still exist abound. Mathematician Ian Malcolm, who forsaw the disaster that destroyed the Park, realises that dinosaurs must still be alive on another island. These new sightings offer him only and last chance to prove his passionately held theory of dinosaur extinction - a theory so radical that it will have a bearing on the future of mankind. A series of clues gives him the location of the island site and once more he enters the savage but beautiful world that almost claimed his life. But Malcolm is not alone in his search. Ruthless businessmen who want to steal the dinosaur DNA are also on the trail, determined to plunder the last remnant of John Hammond's incredible experiment. And so across a small Pacific island the chase is on to discover a secret almost as old as life itself. The secret of The Lost Worls. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine. Seller Inventory # GOR003817104
