Summary
Overall Timeline by Michael Crichton 444 Pages published in 1999 This science fiction novel tells the story of a team of historians and archaeologists studying a site in France, where the medieval towns once stood. They time travel back to 1357 to learn more. The book, combines a lot of technical details with action (as with a lot of
his books) by discussing quantum physics and time travel. The novel not only became a movie (2003) but was also made into a computer game. A bit slow for me.
