Summary: DOYLE RULES!
Review: Arthur Conan Doyle is my favorite author and the 4 Star Trek series are my favorite television shows, so you can imagine my excitement when they combined the two in the Alien Voices version of The Lost World. I have seen several movies of the Lost World, but none were as interestingly dramatized as the Alien Voices one. Although it is a fine triumph, I highly reccomend the book which is awesome! Also I highly recommend other Doyle sci-fi classics like "The Posion Belt", "Maracot Deep" and "Tales of Terror and Mystery." Who knows, maybe Doyle will reach the fame that Jane Austen recently acquired. He sure deserves it!!!

Summary: HELP!
Review: Sorry to say I have never read this book (yet), my dilemma is that I have an original hardback copy that was given to me by an elder relative several years back. I would like to know what it is worth, if anything more than sentimental to myself.

Summary: Read it. It's GOOD.
Review: I originally read "The Lost World" when I was about 10 years old, and it still has a hold on my imagination. In my opinion, this is one of the greatest sf books ever written, and is on par with such classics as "The Day of the Triffids" and "The War of the Worlds". Perhaps Crichton's pretentious/lame JP followup will at the very least inspire people to read the original.PS, pick up "The Poisoned Belt" for more Challenger adventures..

Summary: Nostalgic, like classic radio dramas.
Review: Wonderful dramatization, modern day foley artists are always enjoyable. The use of Star Trek actors were a major plus to experience the story.

Summary: Synopsis
Review: The Lost World is the account of a scientific expedition by four intrepid Englishmen from the gaslit safety of Victorian London to a remote plateau in the South American jungle. In this region beyond time, which is cut off from the outside world by unscalable vertical cliffs and surrounded by fetid swamps, they encounter hideous survivors from the dawn of history. Swarms of pterodactyls, a giant fish-lizard, titanic reptiles and roving bands of pre-human ape-men besiege them. Trapped with only hunting rifles as protection, the four must use cunning and superior intellect to escape from this primeval slaughterhouse. First published in 1912, The Lost World remains a classic in the literature of fantastic adventure tales. Arthur Conan Doyle's fame as a master of detective stories has subsequently overshadowed his other work in all areas of imaginative fiction, but The Lost World is a prime example of Conan Doyle's tales of terror, and aspect of his creative genius with which many readers are unfamiliar. It is interesting to note that, which he tried vainly to kill off his more famous creation, Sherlock Holmes, Conan Doyle remained content with the character of his protagonist in this tale, Professor Challenger.

Summary: Return to Classics
Review: Most of Science Fiction to-day has gotten out of hand, galaxtic battles and evil aliens rule most of to-days sci-fi books and movies, giving most of to-day sci-fi goers a "bad start". Lucky for us, Alien Voices has produced this, THE LOST WORLD by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, a supreme classic. True, the actors are Star Trek personas, but it is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle that they are performaning.

Summary: Dinosaurs are always cool
Review: This book is great fun, an adventure that features not only killer dinosaurs but also obnoxious professors and plenty of pseudo-science (and eighty-year-old pseudo science is the best kind). Doyle is a fine stylist, and isn't afraid to take his time before delivering the goods. My one complaint is about the climactic apeman/man war. It's a pretty standard (though maybe even self-conscious) variation of a traditional Victorian adventure novel's motif: Europeans encounter a primitive society and lead a rationalist faction in rebellion against the superstitious, priestly ruling class. The concept--that Europeans thereby move the primitives along towards progress--finds its embodiment in _The Lost World_ in a war of evolution, in which our heroes must help their fellow humans take their rightful place on the evolutionary ladder, replacing the obsolete apemen. The fact that this progress ends in genocide and slavery is pretty hilarious today, but I don't think Doyle meant ! ! it that way. Anyway, the point is that this motif was already tired when Doyle used it, and is only more so when we read it today. I'd have rather had more dinosaurs. But the bland war is just a small part of the book. This is one of those rare adventure novels that is smarter than it looks; and best of all Doyle doesn't cop-out with the almost-obligatory _Mysterious Island_-type ending.

Summary: Great production sets a new standard
Review: Last night I curled up with my 5 month old son to listen to the much anticipated audio novel "The Lost World". I was not disappointed. I would like to thank Lenard Nimoy, John Delancy and the rest of the team for bringing this novel to life. I thoroughly enjoyed the superior production even though the story itself was kind of convaluted (hard to follow). I look forward to more audio drama's from your team.

Summary: It's nice, but I prefer Crichton's
Review: ...Back to the subject of the book, it's pretty good. I liked the plot, and the characters of the professors, but I didn't like the narrator (no special reason, he just annoyed me). Summary: Read this, but read Crichton's too!
