Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

The Lost World Illustrated Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Four years after the events on Isla Nublar, an upper-class British family docks their yacht and has come ashore on Isla Sorna, unaware that the island contains genetically engineered dinosaurs. Their daughter wanders off and is attacked by a group of Compsognathus, but is saved by her father and yacht crew. An ailing John Hammond invites disgraced mathematician Dr. Ian Malcolm to his New York residence to discuss the recent incident. Hammond's company InGen, which created the dinosaurs, is now headed by Hammond's nephew Peter Ludlow, who used the incident to take control of the company from Hammond. Ian learns that InGen originally cloned the dinosaurs on Isla Sorna, but the island was abandoned during a hurricane and the animals were released into the wild to fend for themselves.
