This was in a big box of books that I purchased at a yard sale this past summer. From the back cover:

"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..."

My TBR pile is too big to add anything new right now, so it'll be available until I can release it.

I'm sending this one off to BCer WittySquirrel as a surprise RABCK. Enjoy!

I just received this book a bit over a week ago, and the postmark says that it cleared Malaysian customs only on January 15, 2006. Thank you so much for the RABCK, I was very surprised when I saw it in my postbox!

Finished your earlier RABCK (Sphere) a while ago, but I haven't gotten to journal it yet for the moment. Sorry 'bout that though. Anyways, I've already started reading a bit into this book already! :D

It took me an almost absurd one and a half years to finish it, but it's just hard for me to describe how much I loved reading this novel. From Prey to Sphere and now Timeline, almost every single work of Crichton that I've encountered happens to be worth its weight in gold! :D

I'm planning to pass this book over to the other Malaysian Bookcrossers in Kuala Lumpur if they're interested in it. Once again, thanks for the RABCK!
