Book description
It is now six years since the secret disaster at Jurassic Park, six
years since the extraordinary dream of science and imagination came to
a crashing end - the dinosaurs destroyed, the park dismantled, the
island indefinitely closed to the public.
But there are rumours that something survived. And when a team go to
investigate, they are determined not to give it a chance to escape.
Michael Cricton takes the terrifying events of Jurassic Park even
further in this unstoppably readable adventure sequel, told by a
master storyteller.
Born in Chicago in 1942,
Michael Crichton
first trained as a doctor before going on to become one of the most
successful writers in the world. In 1994 he achieved a feat unmatched by
any other writer: by having simultaneously a number one TV series, book
and movie with, respectively,
ER
(which he created),
Disclosure
and Steven Spielberg's
Jurassic Park
, on its release the highest-grossing film of all time. He also directed
several movies, including
The Great Railway Robbery
with Sean Connery and Donald Sutherland. His high-concept thrillers
were international bestsellers, and in total his books have sold more
than 200 million copies worldwide. He died in 2008.
