Sci-Fi Brought - and read - in desperation whilst on holiday where I had run out of books (gasp!).[return][return]I was quickly disappointed and dissatisfied with the story and characters and I remember skimming much of the book as a result. This book (along with "airframe") are the books that finally put me off reading Crichton forever. really enjoyed this one. a very interesting take on time travel where there is many different branching time lines. the whole medieval setting was really cool and the characters were solid. i will say this book was also very graphic with the violence then i was expecting, not that there is anything wrong with that. but just a fair warning for those that never read it. but it was fun and thrilling just like Sphere although i dont put it on the same level as that but it was a good time. my only complaint is that when it shifts between the stuff happening in the medieval and the modern day when things are starting to get really good. it does slow it down a bit but i still think this is great book La multinacional ITC desarrolla bajo el máximo secreto una revolucionaria y misteriosa tecnología basada en los últimos avances de la física cuántica. Sin embargo, la crítica situación financiera de ITC la obliga a obtener resultados inmediatos para atraer a nuevos inversores. La opción más clara es acelerar el Proyecto Dordogne, de cara al público un proyecto para desenterrar las ruinas de un monasterio medieval en Francia, pero en realidad un arriesgado experimento para poner a prueba una tecnología que permite viajar en el tiempo y su eventual comercialización. Pero cuando se trata de teletransportar personas de un siglo a otro, el menor fallo o descuido puede aparejar consecuencias imprevisibles y pavorosas….
''Timeline'' ends with Doniger delivering a caustic denunciation of the ''mania for entertainment'' that pervades American culture, in which jaded consumers increasingly seek an ''authenticity'' of experience that not even the most sophisticated ''artifice'' can offer. (Doniger wants to market time-travel as the ultimate amusement-park ride.) The irony, of course, is that few entertainment products are as artificial as Crichton's own work. Like shiny windup toys, his novels are diverting -- they're manically entertaining. (I gobbled up ''Timeline'' in a single sitting.) But like anything mechanical, they just end up repeating themselves. Whatever time Crichton is in, he's always writing the same book.

In an Arizona desert a man wanders in a daze, speaking words that make no sense. Within twenty-four hours he is dead, his body swiftly cremated by his only known associates. Halfway around the world archaeologists make a shocking discovery at a medieval site. Suddenly they are swept off to the headquarters of a secretive multinational corporation that has developed an astounding technology. Now this group is about to get a chance not to study the past but to enter it. And with history opened to the present, the dead awakened to the living, these men and women will soon find themselves fighting for their very survival-six hundred years ago . . .
