The Lost World (the second movie) is also based on a book by Michael Crichton [pronounced cry-ton], but it diverges from the book even more than the first movie.

It’s worth a read, as is Disclosure by the same author (pretty much all of his books are good).

(pretty much all of his books are good).

There's a couple of caveats. One of his books denies climate change is a thing, but still has "sources" at the b9tt9m of pages to look real. And then there's Next, which is... a piece of work.

I think those were Crichton's last 2 books too, so I think he may have been scraping the bottom of the barrel for ideas right before he died
