Michael Crichton
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. . . .

Although slightly “cinematic”, Crichton provides just enough character development, time travel technology and historical reference to keep this book “lightweight” and enjoyable throughout. I especially enjoyed the portrayal of Europe in the 1300s as compared (or actually contrasted) to our current lifestyles. Political affairs, personal interests and greed seem familiar but everyday survival and personal success take on an entirely different meaning. I found it hard to put down towards the finish.
The narration and sound quality were good.

I thought the story was very intriguing. Something so unrealistic as time travel (although not *really* time travel) seemed more realistic with the amount of science that was described backing it.
However, there's one part of the book that didn't make sense to me. Spoiler alert starting here:
Michael describes that time travel isn't really possible, and that really they are entering into another universe (one of the many in the multi-verse) to see what it was like at a different time. With the way this is described, changes in a different universe/time would not affect our universe/time. However, in our universe, they found the glasses of the doctor in the archaeological dig site with the note saying "help me". But, this implied they were from a different time... which again, isn't really a different time, but a different (though similar) universe set in a different time. So, they shouldn't really have found the doctor's glasses and note... Am I missing something?
Aside from that issue, I was glued to the audio book the whole way through. Quite a good book and narration!
Overall a great listen! (spoiler alert)

Where does Timeline rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This has been one of my favorite audiobooks for years - I was very happy to find it on Audible when finding a CD copy was becoming next to impossible!What did you like best about this story?
"Timeline" is masterfully written. I'm by no means a fan of everything that Crichton has written, but this book expertly transports you to another time and place; it is exhaustively researched, the characters are engaging, and it is a truly thrilling plot.What does John Bedford Lloyd bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Mr. Lloyd does an excellent job of giving the characters their own voice and personality; even among the community of audiobook narration, it is relatively rare to find someone who can immediately establish numerous characters and bring them to life.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The end, frankly - I won't spoil it, but the very end of the book was wonderfully done. A very poignant, fitting, and moving scene that plays like a movie in your head. (The movie to this book, by the way, was terrible - please don't watch it!)Among Crichton's Best!
