Before seeing Jurassic World this June, read the sequel to the multimillion copy No. It is now six years since the secret disaster at Jurassic Park, six years since the extraordinary dream of science and imagination came to a crashing end - the dinosaurs destroyed, the park dismantled, the island indefinitely closed to the public.

THE LOST WORLD

Isla Nublar. L’armée doit venir « faire le ménage ». Le programme dont cette île est le théâtre avait pourtant tout du paradis scientifique : un immense complexe naturel où s’ébattent, aux yeux de tous, les plus féroces sauriens du Jurassique, génétiquement ramenés à la vie…Quelques jours avant le chaos, le paléontologue Alan Grant et Ian Malcolm, mathématicien de renom, embarquent pour ce bout de terre perdu au large du Pacifique. Bientôt, le petit groupe invité par le créateur du parc doit se rendre à l’évidence : au coeur d’une jungle primitive et hostile, l’être humain n’est plus l’espèce dominante, mais la proie…

Jurassic Park

Lavish wealth and appalling poverty live side by side in Victorian London -- and Edward Pierce easily navigates both worlds. Rich, handsome, and ingenious, he charms the city's most prominent citizens even as he plots the crime of his century, the daring theft of a fortune in gold. But even Pierce could not predict the consequences of an extraordinary robbery that targets the pride of England's industrial era: the mighty steam locomotive. Based on remarkable fact, and alive with the gripping suspense, surprise, and authenticity that are his trademarks, Michael Crichton's classic adventure is a breathtaking thrill-ride that races along tracks of steel at breakneck speed.

Soleil Levant

Bien avant Jurassic Park, le jeune Michael Crichton, étudiant à Harvard, écrivait des romans pulp sous le nom de plume de John Lange... Jeune radiologue américain, Peter Ross aspirait simplement à passer de bonnes vacances sur la Costa Brava quand il rencontre Angela Locke sur la plage. Et le voilà aussitôt devenu la cible de gangs rivaux à la recherche d'un précieux artéfact. De Barcelone aux rues de Paris, des tours de l'Alhambra aux catacombes, Peter Ross, cet homme ordinaire, surnage dans une situation des plus désespérées. S'il ne découvre pas au plus vite un secret enfoui depuis des siècles, il risque bien d'y passer.

Zéro cool

Pirate Latitudes takes the reader back to 1665, when Charles II's Jamaican colony is under serious threat, besieged on every side by the voracious Spanish empire. At the centre of this troubled outpost is its crowded capital, Port Royal, a lively (if festering) hangout for criminal dregs, who inhabit its taverns and brothels. This is the time of the privateer, when (with tacit royal sanction), ship's captains could make sorties against Spanish ships and outposts, plundering at will -- just so long as the Governor and King Charles are taken care of. Michael Crichton's protagonist in this colourful mix is Captain Charles Hunter, educated at Harvard and a man with keenly developed survival instincts. He is made aware a treasure galleon, which is at anchor in the heavily fortified Spanish island of Matanceros, and Hunter's interest is piqued -- not least because this means he will be able to take on Philip of Spain's most ruthless enforcer, Cazalla. The stage is set for what will either be a glorious bit of naval smash-and-grab or that will end in the ignominious death of Charles Hunter and his motley crew.
