Crichton retoma en esta continuacion de Parque
Jurasico los aspectos mas inquietantes de la
trama original.La pesadilla empieza en la isla
de Costa Rica, donde se encuentran
varios cadaveres de dinosaurios. El paleontologo Richard Levine
organiza una expedicion y, gracias a
sus peculiares ayudantes -dos ninos
superdotados-, consigue que Ian Malcolm, uno de los pocos hombres
que conoce lo que realmente ocurrio en
aquella isla remota, colabore en la arriesgada empresa.
Como
es sabido, esa isla fue el verdadero laboratorio del parque, donde los dinosaurios eran
fabricados y criados sin ningun criterio cientifico por los responsables de una
empresa cegada por los intereses
economicos. Ahora, las consecuencias de tales manipulaciones son pavorosas: los dinosaurios se han vuelto
violentos e impredecibles y amenazan
con extender su salvaje hegemonia a todo el planeta.
