The Lost World

Professor Challenger--Doyle's most famous character after Sherlock Holmes--leads an expedition into the deepest jungles of South America. Together, the men--a young journalist, an adventurer and an aristocrat--along with their bearers and guides, search for a rumored country and encounter savagery, hardship and betrayal on the way. But things get worse as they get closer to the hidden world they seek. Trapped on an isolated plateau, menaced by hungry carnosaurs, it begins to look as though the expedition may never return.
