"Compulsive reading . . . brilliantly imagined."-Los Angeles Times. 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 up 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.

From VERY recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "To top it all off, the payoff is fantastic. It delivers a very satisfying ending that ties the complex threads together beautifully. If you love smart sci-fi, rich historical fiction, or just a thrilling adventure that makes you think, this is a must-read. Highly recommended!"; "I was absolutely blown away by how effortlessly he weaves dense, historical complexity with cutting-edge quantum physics. It's a brilliant conceptual mix that shouldn't work on paper, but in Crichton's hands, it becomes an incredibly immersive reality."; "Time Travel and sword fighting what's not to like?? The book does a pretty good job of making a case for the possibility for time travel to the 14th century. Crichton keeps the reader engaged by the flow of the story and the characters. You learn a lot about medieval life how people lived worked, ate, played and died."; "This is the best book I have read in a long time!! 10/10 recommend!"
