"The Lost World" is a science fiction novel written by Michael Crichton, published in 1995. It is a sequel to his earlier novel "Jurassic Park." The novel follows a similar premise to its predecessor, involving the cloning of dinosaurs and the subsequent havoc they wreak on a remote island. In "The Lost World," a team of scientists, including Ian Malcolm (a character from the first book) returns to Isla Sorna, the island where the dinosaurs were bred. They aim to study the creatures in their natural habitat and document their behavior. However, things quickly spiral out of control as they encounter dangerous dinosaurs and face various challenges. The novel explores themes such as the ethics of genetic engineering, the consequences of human interference in nature, and the unpredictable outcomes of scientific advancements. It is known for its fast-paced action, suspenseful plot, and vivid descriptions of prehistoric creatures. "The Lost World" was adapted into a film of the same name in 1997, directed by Steven Spielberg as a sequel to his earlier adaptation of "Jurassic Park." While the film shares some similarities with the novel, it also diverges significantly in terms of plot and characters.
