Michael Crichton

"Fueled by a powerful curiosity and the need to see, feel, and hear firsthand and close-up, Michael Crichton experienced adventures as compelling as those he created in his books and films. When Crichton ... began to feel isolated in his own life, he decided to widen his horizons. He tracked wild animals in the jungles of Rwanda. He climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mayan pyramids. He trekked across a landslide in Pakistan. He swam amid sharks in Tahiti....

While Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler try to escape their Colombian captors, Ian Malcolm recovers from his injuries in Panama and begins the search for his friends. Meanwhile, the Colombians try to use their "trained" raptors as weapons outside of their compound.

Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler return to Isla Nubar to help the U.S. and Costa Rican governments contain the out-of-control dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, but the officials in charge refuse to listen to their warnings that there are more raptors at loose on the island that must be found before it is too late.

Doctors Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler wake up after their plane crashes to find themselves the pampered captives of a Colombian criminal named Rafael, who is convinced that he can train three raptors recovered after the crash to be his guard dogs, and wants the scientists' help.

As the first signs of trouble begin to show in Jurassic Park, a storm forces the ship that brought Alan Grant and his group to leave, stranding them on the island.

With the power off and dinosaurs like a T-Rex and velociraptors loose, Jurassic Park has become a very dangerous place. Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler, and the rest of the island's human inhabitants struggle to stay alive and restore power and communication so they can find a way off the island.
