Review Summaries
"A young journalist, Edward Malone sets out on a 19th century expedition to explore the Amazon rainforest with explorer George Challenger, zoologist Summerlee and hunter Lord John Roxton. On their exploration they discover more then they could ever imagine with a world that has ape men and dinosaurs still living and flourishing in the wild. The men are shocked at their discovery and make the journey back to their civilization barely surviving their wild companions. "
