Edward Malone faces rejection from the woman he loves. She finds him too ordinary, too safe for her taste. The journalist decides he must prove himself through bold action and discovery. In 1907 London, he encounters Professor George Challenger, a scientist making extraordinary claims. Challenger insists he has found a lost world where prehistoric creatures still roam. Pterodactyls soar through ancient skies while other monsters from Earth's distant past survive in this hidden realm. Malone sees his chance for the adventure and fame that might transform him in his beloved's eyes. The expedition promises danger and discovery in equal measure. But the journey to prove his worth may cost more than Malone imagines.
