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. (Random House)
Review: B (6.1.07) Stories where they alk about multiple dimensions occuring with different choices made, only makes me debate the actions all throughoout the book because, which dimension is right? No matter how you look at it, the opposite is constantly haening, and we are following on version. Not one of my favorites of Crichton's but I liked how it was written. This marked the fourth book read on the bus commute, shredding about 100 pages a day.
