Timeline is the second book by Michael Crichton I have read. A couple of months ago a friend said I should read the Sphere by Crichton and with no other book to read I decided to. I read Sphere and found it very thrilling and interesting; so I decided to ask that same friend is there another good book that you would recommend from Crichton? He said yes and gave me Timeline. This book is a historical fiction novel. The book bounces around a few characters to follow during the beginning of the book until you finally find the main characters. They are all graduate students working on restoring and studding a medieval castle site, which was at its height around the mid 1300s. They are funded by a mysterious company call ITC. You eventually figure out that ITC has invented a time machine and the students must now go back in time to rescue there professor who had gone back but had never returned. I have enjoyed this book abundantly more that Sphere because of its historical background. Anyone who enjoys learning about history especially unknown history should read this book because even though its fiction it still tells about medieval society. It also has a lot of science in it. The whole time machine is based of quantum physics, which is the study of extremely small particles, and explains in detail how a time machine could theoretically be created. The science and history are very easy to understand because it is also a great and thrilling novel. It has action and thrills at every turn. I would recommend that anyone who likes a fast pace novel with science and history should read this book. It is a great book.
