Professor Challenger assembles a team for a dangerous journey to a remote plateau in South America. The expedition discovers that prehistoric creatures still roam this isolated landscape, where dinosaurs and other extinct animals have survived unchanged for millions of years. But the ancient beasts prove to be only part of the challenge. Challenger and his companions find themselves caught in a brutal conflict between primitive human hominids and a savage tribe of ape-like beings. The war consumes far more of their attention than the remarkable dinosaurs that first drew them to this lost world. Survival depends on navigating not just the perils of prehistoric predators, but the complex dynamics of a struggle between two very different species of early humanity.
