Timeline
by Michael Crichton
Imagine you are a
young historian, working on a project to completely renovate a French
feudal castle and its environs, backed by the wealth of a rather
unscrupulous billionaire who is a technology genius. In your research, you
discover a call for help from the 1300s, but it is in the writing of
your professor and mentor! He has gotten stuck in the past, going there
through a quantum foam wormhole developed by the tech genius. You and your
colleagues are sent to retrieve him, but hold on! This feudal world is
full of warts and wrinkles, with inhabitants just as eager to lop your
head off with a broadsword as say hello. And, even worse, only one of you
even knows HOW to say hello to these locals! You must race against
the clock to find the professor in time to catch your ride back to the
present, swashbuckling your way through many hazards and past feudal
fiends. One thing more there is a bad guy in this book and the ending
is laugh-out-loud funny when he gets what he truly deserves. Jurassic Park
in the middle ages! Youll love it! This book is
available on audiocassette, too.
