The Lost World

Book • 2012
The Lost World, written by Michael Crichton, is a sequel to his 1990 novel 'Jurassic Park'.

The story takes place six years after the events of the first book and follows mathematician Ian Malcolm, who survived the disaster at Jurassic Park, as he joins a scientific research team to explore a second island, Isla Sorna, where John Hammond's company InGen had bred dinosaurs.

The team, including paleontologist Richard Levine, ethologist Sarah Harding, and two stowaway children, must navigate the dangers of the island, including the dinosaurs and rival scientists who are trying to steal the dinosaur eggs.

The novel explores themes of science, technology, and the unpredictable nature of life.
