Here are some of the Must Read Adventure Books:

1)     Jurassic Park (Jurassic Park, #1) by Michael Crichton

The famous Jurassic Park is set in a hypothetical world where the DNA of the dinosaurs is being engineered and cloned to bring them back to life again. 

Released way back in 1990 and written by the famous novelist Michael Crichton, the story revolves around a park where the Dinosaurs are brought back into existence. Jurassic Park is set in a nature reserve on a remote South American Island owned by billionaire businessman John Hammond. Hammond and his team of research scientists have popularized the park with genetically engineered dinosaurs. 

It is also seen as a cautionary tale about Genetic Engineering, and for some others, it is also seen as the real-world implication of the mathematical concept of the popular Chaos Theory. 

Jurassic Park was made into a film in 1993 with the same name directed by Steven Spielberg. The film was a big hit, becoming the highest-grossing film ever at the time, impressing audiences all over the world with its excellent story and, of course, dinosaurs.

 

1)     A Journey to the Center of the Earth

If you are a Jules Verne fan, this book is a must-read for you. Even if you are not a Verne fan, I am sure this book will turn you into one. 

An adventurous geology professor chances upon a manuscript in which a 16th-century explorer claims to have found a route to the earth's core. Professor Otto Lidenbrock, an eccentric German scientist believes that there are volcanic tubes that connect to the centre of the Earth. When he finds the manuscript, the scientist can't resist the opportunity to investigate, and with his nephew Axel, he sets off across Iceland in the company of Hans Bjelke, a native guide.

The adventure goes into a volcano, where they encounter a subterranean world of bright rocks, prehistoric forests, and fantastic marine life - a living past that holds the secrets to the origins of human existence.

Originally published in French in 1864, the first English translation of this classic of adventure and science fiction was published in 1871. It will not be ironic to say that, Verne essentially laid the groundwork and birthed the genre of Science Fiction.
