Timeline

Michael Crichton’s new novel opens on the threshold of the twenty-first century. It 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 moment f the past can be actualised – and a group of historians can enter, literally, life in fourteenth-century feudal France.
Imagine the risks of such a journey.
