The Lost World

While on expedition for a route off the plateau, Roxton, Malone, and Challenger encounter an Amazon woman defending herself from an attacking Deinonychus. After the men come to her aide, Challenger suffers serious wounds. When the woman and her cohort invite the men to their village so his wounds can be tended, they receive a warm welcome. In time, they learn that it is time for the breeding ritual--and that they will serve as studs. Their excitement is soon tamped down when they discover that their lives will end once they have serve their purpose.
