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. There are rumors that something has survived.
"Crichton adroitly combines popular scientific colloquy and ripping good, blood-and-guts (literally) action once again. If it all seems rather predictable, remember that the pleasures of familiarity and referentiality rank high among the rewards of popular fiction. Here such pleasures begin with the title, plundered directly from the granddaddy of the modern-day dinosaur romance, Arthur Conan Doyle's Lost World (1912)." BOOKLIST "Action-packed." "Fast and gripping." "The action far surpasses anything in the original book... The suspense is masterfully stretched out, then released all of a sudden -- just when you least expect it."
