The Lost World
by Arthur Conan Doyle
Long before Michael Crichton's high-tech dinosaurs rolled through the bestseller lists, Arthur Conan Doyle predicted an isolated country of prehistoric life that existed in the 20th century. When Ed Malone, an ardent journalist with an insatiable thirst for adventure, is sent to interview the famous Professor Challenger, he manages to embark on an expedition of a great man. Challenger leads a team of four to the South American jungle on an isolated plateau cut by huge vertical cliffs from the rest of the world. Here, in this lost world, elsewhere stand strange prehistoric creatures that have long gone extinct - terrifying dinosaurs, gigantic pterodactyls and an evil ape-man. A fast-paced action and adventure story, The Lost World is one of the original science fiction novels.
