The Lost World
An Apple Books Classic edition.
Both Pompeii and Petra were excavated in the 1800s, and as explorers were searching for (and finding) more mysterious ancient cities, authors were finding new inspiration. Among them was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, already famous for his Sherlock Holmes mysteries. In 1912, he published The Lost World, branching out into the popular genre of adventure fiction and crafting a story that will appeal to fans of Jurassic Park.
Ned Malone is a reporter who’s just been told by the love of his life that she wants a man who embraces danger. And so, he does what any man would do: He gathers a crew and sets off on an expedition with a professor who claims to have discovered living dinosaurs. What follows is a suspenseful story with hints of science fiction and Conan Doyle’s flair for mystery. After landing on a South American island untouched by time, the crew faces a betrayal that leaves them stranded amid terrifying dangers. Will they escape—and do they ever find dinosaurs? We’re not telling. You’ll just have to read the book.

Reviews
it Is so good you should read it if you like Jurassic park or action movies or dinosaurs and animals
By Bobafett52’th
Great adventure story of four men on a quest to prove the existence of things from the past. I couldn’t put it down until I read the ending!
By Rocking On!
WHAT a book!! I am still smiling after just reading the ending. The beginning initially felt odd and out of place, but as you keep reading, it gets really good. I couldn’t put this book down. There is something to be said about the classics, and I can understand why this one is one. Dinosaur lovers of all kinds will enjoy this one!
