Timeline [sound recording] by Crichton, Michael,1942-;
Read by Stephen Lang.On the threshold of the twenty-first century, is a world of exploding advances on the frontiers of technology. Information moves instantly between two points, without wires or networks. Computers are built from single molecules. Any momemt of the past can be actualized and a group of historians can enter, literally, life in fourteenth-century feudal France. Imagine the risks of such a journey.

Timeline / by Crichton, Michael,1942-2008.(CARDINAL)125108;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 477-480)An old man is found wandering in the Arizona desert, apparently demented, talking in rhymes. In his pocket is a diagram of a 14th century monastery in France that is being excavated by a team of archaeologists from Yale University. The head of the team disappears suddenly and three of the team members decide they will track him down. They are Kate Erickson, athletic, passionate about mediaeval architecture and rock climbing; dreamy Chris Hughes; and Andre Marek, obsessed with the mediaeval world. Altogether they possess great knowledge of the fourteenth century - or so they thought, until they find themselves in a world, which teaches them how little they really know.620LAccelerated Reader AR
