Michael Crichton's Timeline (Book)

(Anonymous) 2014-11-01 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I've always liked Crichton's fiction novels, partly because they were exciting/kept my interest, and partly to look back at all the predictions he made about the future and laugh, but Timeline always felt like wasted potential. I mean, you have a company that built not only a quantum computer but a machine that can send people to an alternate universe that takes place at an early (and I think implied later as well) time than the present, effectively making it time travel, but no, 2/3rds of the book is set in 14th century France with the machine being busted. I guess it was interesting to see a more realistic depiction of medieval times, but the potential the machine had for stories was way more interesting than a few modern people on a rescue mission in 14th century France.
