Malcolm then goes to the island with a rescue team consisting of Jack 'Doc' Thorne, an engineer and retired university professor Eddie Carr, Thorne's assistant and two stowaway children, R. Eventually, Malcolm learns that Levine has gone missing there. He arrives with a Costa Rican guide named Diego, but shortly after arriving, the two are attacked by two mysterious creatures later identified as a pair of Carnotaurus who kill Diego. They learn of Site B on Isla Sorna, the 'production facility' where the now-defunct company InGen hatched and grew the dinosaurs for their Jurassic Park theme park on nearby Isla Nublar.Įighteen months later, afraid that the Costa Rican government will find Isla Sorna and destroy the dinosaurs, Levine hastily embarks on an expedition to the island without Malcolm. The two men attempt to search for a 'lost world' of dinosaurs following rumors of strange animal corpses washing up on the shores of Costa Rica. In August 1993, four years after the disaster at Jurassic Park, chaos theorist and mathematician Ian Malcolm - who is revealed to have survived the events of the previous novel - encounters and reluctantly agrees to team up with wealthy paleontologist Richard Levine. In 1997, both novels were re-published as a single book titled Michael Crichton's Jurassic World, which is unrelated to the 2015 film of the same name. A paperback edition ( ISBN 8-X) followed in 1996.

It is his tenth novel under his own name and his twentieth overall, and it was published by Knopf. The Lost World is a 1995 science fiction action novel written by Michael Crichton, and the sequel to his 1990 novel Jurassic Park.
