Ein Ausgrabungscamp in Frankreich: Hier befinden sich vier Ruinen aus dem 14. Jahrhundert, Spuren des Hundertjährigen Kriegs. Die Genauigkeit des Aufrissplans eines der Gebäude weckt den Argwohn des Geschichtsprofessors Edward Johnston. Er mutmaßt, dass die amerikanische Firma, die sein Forschungsprojekt seit Jahren unterstützt, eine Zeitmaschine entwickelt hat und bereits Mitarbeiter in die Vergangenheit geschickt hat. Er fliegt in die USA und wenige Tage später erreicht seine Studenten die Nachricht, ihr Professor sei ins Mittelalter gereist und sie sollten ihn zurückholen. Ein alter Menschheitstraum rückt in greifbare Nähe. Doch bald müssen die Zeitreisenden in den Wirren des Hundertjährigen Kriegs ums Überleben kämpfen.
Sometimes, it seems like you can reach out and touch the past...

An old man wearing a brown robe is found wandering disoriented in the Arizona desert. He is miles from any human habitation and has no memory of how he got to be there, or who he is. The only clue to his identity is the plan of a medieval monastery in his pocket.

In France, Professor Edward Johnston and his students are studying the ruins of a medieval town. Suspicious of the knowledge of the site shown by their mysterious financier, he returns to the US to investigate. But in his absence, the students make a disturbing discovery in the ruins: the long-decayed remains of Johnston's glasses - and a message in modern English.

The implications are staggering. The consequences are earth-shaking. And the distant past isn't so distant any more.

Increasingly considered an underappreciated classic that stands proudly alongside his more famous works like Jurassic Park and Westworld, Timeline confirms Michael Crichton as the king of the high-concept thriller, and a master storyteller to boot.

Portrait

Michael Crichton

Michael Crichton remains one of the most popular writers in the world, best known as the author of the global phenomenon Jurassic Park. He sold more than 250 million copies of his books worldwide, which have been translated into forty languages and adapted into fifteen films. He wrote a number of global bestsellers, including The Lost World: Jurassic Park, The Andromeda Strain, Congo, Sphere, Rising Sun, Disclosure, Airframe, and The Great Train Robbery. His influence and creativity extended far beyond books -he was the creator of the landmark television series ER, which ran for fifteen seasons, won twenty-three Primetime Emmy Awards, and received 124 Emmy nominations. He cowrote the screenplays of Jurassic Park and Twister and wrote and directed the film Westworld, which served as the basis for the HBO series. Crichton is the only writer in history to have a number one book, film, and television series at the same time, and he did it twice.
