The classic adventure that inspired Jurassic Park —now with an original prequel novella that tells the untold story of the man who discovered the lost world. Before Professor Challenger. Before the expedition. There was Maple White. In 1897, an American artist ventured into the Amazon jungle seeking something to paint.
