<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In <b>The Lost World</b>, the first in a series of books to feature the bold Professor Challenger--a character many critics consider one of the most finely drawn in science fiction--Challenger and his party embark on an expedition to a remote Amazonian plateau where, as the good professor puts it, "the ordinary laws of Nature are suspended" and numerous prehistoric creatures and ape-men have survived. "Just as Sherlock Holmes set the standard--and in some sense established the formula--for the detective story . . ., so too has <b>The Lost World</b><i> </i>set the standard and the formula for fantasy-adventure stories . . .," Michael Crichton writes in his Introduction. "The tone and techniques that Conan Doyle first refined in <b>The Lost World</b> have become standard narrative procedures in popular entertainment of the present day."<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"<b>The Lost World</b> . . . provide[s] evidence that Doyle had it in him to be one of the greatest science fiction writers of all time."--<b>Sam Moskowitz</b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Michael Crichton</b>'s novels include <i>The Andromeda Strain</i>, <i>Congo</i>, <i>Jurassic Park</i>, <i>The Lost World</i>, and <i>Timeline</i>; he is also the creator of the television series ER.
