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. ([source][1])

Schmarrn mit männlichen Männern und Quark mit Quanten

2 stars

Hier können Männer noch Männer und Helden sein und sich von Frauen anschmachten lassen. Die Frauen sind zwar auch irgendwie tapfer, aber die Kerle erst! Na gut, das kennt man. Die Geschichte wäre allerdings ein bissken weniger blödsinnig gewesen, wäre der Autor nicht so sehr damit beschäftigt, die angebliche Funktionsweise der Zeitmaschinen zu erklären. Natürlich aufgeblähter Blödsinn mit Quanten und Paralleluniversen, der schlicht zu ausführlich ist und zudem sehr an den Haaren herbeigezogen.

Immerhin, ein wenig unterhaltsam war es trotzdem..

Review of 'Timeline' on 'Goodreads'

No rating

It is a beautiful, seductive book that asks questions that are open-ended even today. It tells about the multiverse and how the existence of the multiverse is known through various scientific experiments. He also shares about quantum teleportation. and how inanimate objects could be sent to the past or the future. Where it differs from science and becomes fiction is when they are able to send people in the past. More precisely, 13th century UK
