The Anywhen Door Book Three - Medieval Rescue

The titleof this book brought back memories of when my son would bring home every stray cat in our neighborhood and keep them in his room, mostlyundetected. And I can confirm that cats do eat spaghetti, for a while at least preferable with vongole , but only until their rescuer becomesbesotted and starts to cater to their every whim. This book isnot just for "Cat Lovers" but for everyone who enjoys animal adventures with all the highs and lows in the life of each new furry friend.

This is the third book in the Italian Trilogy In this delightful book about adopting feral cats that through patience and hard work become domesticated the fourteen chapters will make your heart feel better for having read them: The early chapters are set in the north of England and then in the county of Surrey.

They then move abroad, to a couple of beautiful medieval villages on the shores of Lake Como in northern Italy, to where Paul and his wife emigrated in As the story progresses it includes their sometimes problematic Italian neighbours, who are certainly not cat lovers. Some of them do however love cats, but in a divergent and alarming way and that is to eat them during the winter months as a roasted accompaniment to piping-hot-polenta.

The book also embraces their daily association with the little darlings. Paul and his wife are not just surrogate parents they have dedicated their lives to the happiness and contentment of their cats. As an example of their devotion they allowed themselves a holiday five years ago. They only took the risk of seeing other parts of their adopted country because they found a couple of baby-sitters they could trust and who were prepared to stay in their house to look after their cats as well as they try to do it.

I just published one on Amazon 2 days ago it was written years ago. I have worked on outlines for this single series sequels. It is utterly different from anything out there. It involves real people and real farm communities but the story is fictionalized. It pays tribute to the characters who once lived and died in the ss on this prairie farm. The caboose is from another century. It is an antique.

Its trap door opens only once every 20 years. It guards a great secret. There are over geological Stages of Earth history spanning 4. Each novel takes them every 3 months from one Stage into another. The children must adapt and survive these alien environments. The Holocene is the first environment that takes the reader back 11, years. The next 4 sequels deal with the 4 known major Ice Ages going back 2 million years. The 1st novel introduces the real characters that once actually lived on those farms. Nothing is fictionalized except the story line.

Only time will tell… my review Timebound my review To stop time travel from destroying the world… my review author page Jason, Julia, and Rick are determined to find out, no matter what it takes… In their first journey, the twins… My take: Fourth, the whole bit about reassembly on the far side of the wormhole always happening Just Because That's The Way The Multiverse Works seems a complete copout.

Whatever, our gang of gallant archaeologists is sent back to rescue their stranded colleague and of course immediately everything starts going wrong. The bulk of the novel is made up of them having extraordinarily tedious adventures that seem to have been plotted less for a novel, more for a multiple-choice adventure gamebook. The writing is at best pedestrian, and often enough lurches into the slapdash. One of the main baddies seems to be a dead ringer for Blackadder, albeit with a French accent.

We get occasional throwaway lines that seem to presage the bonkers pseudoscience of Crichton's final novel, State of Fear , such as "Even the most established concepts -- like the idea that germs cause disease -- were not as thoroughly proven as people believed" page Me, I was wondering why the hell he'd sent archaeologists on the rescue mission in the first place: It was only because I'm working on an essay about time-travel stories that I finished this dreary effort, and only because I got it from the library that it didn't get thrown at the wall a few times.

Apr 24, Stephen rated it it was ok Shelves: My least favorite Michael Crichton novel. I just never became interested in any of the characters or the story line. Jan 22, Rad Ryan rated it it was amazing Shelves: A novel for all-time. The one who made me to love books. I was 13 at that time, I always make a fool out of myself. My classmates were asking me how can I understand it or do I understand it, all kinds of questions who irritates me. I mean how hurtful and so hateful with it! There are more books than to read! And my goal for my life is to read more than books or even more!

I love Michael Crichton for this book! So far I've read 4 works of him and this one is the most that I like. With all the Time-Travel Theme and Quantum Physics thing, mixed with Middle Age, and the characters became history more than they know. All the actions going from every side of the fight. This novel takes a group of historians, and test their courage, faith, hope, and the will to live among a time they don't belong and shouldn't exist. Timeline takes you to a thrilling, one-of-a-kind adventure who will take your breath in a deadly fight between their life and their timeline.

A very swashbuckling adventure! Oct 27, Jackie rated it it was amazing Shelves: Time travel gets me almost everytime! This novel was exciting and unique, I could hardly put it down.

Cool quantum technology that I barely understood aside, I felt like I was transported to the Years War along with the team that sets out to find the Professor. And that's what makes a good novel into a great novel for me, and Timeline delivered. One of Crichton's best. And I got a crush on Marek so that helps in keeping it on my favorite book list. I think I'll read in again soon. Total piece of crap book that I got from a book swap. That said, while I did a lot of skimming, this was a perfectly fine book to read while on mass transit And now you know that I sometimes read crap.

Mar 20, Werner rated it really liked it Recommends it for: Fans of action-oriented science-fiction. My reaction to this book was a lot more favorable than Stacey's --but I do have to agree with some of her criticisms. Because of his "hard" sci-fi orientation, Crichton insisted on trying to extrapolate an explanation for time-travel from existing science, his vehicle being quantum theory. Since this is too complex and counter-intuitive for most people to understand and some of us suspect it of being a bunch of hooey anyway!

Wells, demonstrated that you don't need to "explain" it to get readers to accept it. Crichton should have taken a leaf out of his book. And the characters here are not the most sharply drawn in the genre though some are more so than others, and there are a couple of conversations which are really excellent revelations of character, by the "show, don't tell" method.

The ending does have a cinematic quality, though whether this is a flaw or not depends on your tastes. Ironically, the last part of the movie version leaves out several of the best parts. In the main, though, I personally thought the book succeeds well as an adventure story, where a group of friends have to find resources of loyalty, courage and ingenuity in themselves to survive, and to help each other survive. Like Jurassic Park , this novel also sounds a well-warranted cautionary note about the potential of self-serving Big Business to debase science as an instrument of profit for the few at the expense of others.

The violence is not gratuitous although there's a lot of it , the time travelers don't engage in illicit sex, and the language isn't noticeably bad. Crichton's villains use the f-word a few times; but rather than encouraging it, this comes across as a reflection of the kinds of bad qualities the readers don't want to emulate!

Apr 17, Josh rated it really liked it. Bello bello bello bello! Non ho dato 5 stell Bello bello bello bello! After watching the movie again It feels like the movie and the book almost tell different stories, or at the very least maybe they tell the same story in very different ways.

Frequently bought together

There's a lot in the book that either takes a backseat or isn't in the movie at all, and vice-versa. At the end of the day, either way you take this in, Crichton is still a genius and this is extremely entertaining. This movie basically kickstarted my love of Gerard Butler, so I'll always love it. Crichton takes another swing at time travel.

After a brainy first act that presents a layman's comprehension of quantum physics, the narrative shifts admirably into a more traditional adventure story about a group of college students trapped in France during the Hundred Years War, who have to use their modern educations of the 17th century to survive and get back home. One of the things I like about the science in Crichton's books is that it feels like he is explaining it to himself even as he e Crichton takes another swing at time travel. One of the things I like about the science in Crichton's books is that it feels like he is explaining it to himself even as he explains it to the reader.

You feel like you are going along with him on his quest for further research to make his story more compelling and rich. The premise is absurd, but awesome, and it's a credit to his patience and power as a writer of typically deadpan Hollywood prose that he is able to go to such great lengths to keep the pace tight, the pages turning and the discoveries believable and fresh. The book is shamelessly rife with action, romance, villainous mustache-twirling, and detailed descriptions of appalling gore a character attempts to decapitate a marauding knight, but only manages to get his sword halfway through, then struggles to withdraw the weapon while dragging the guy around the room as blood spurts from his visor which serve to root us in the dangerous, up-close brutality of historical warfare that the characters are confronted with, all the more believable thanks to the late doctor's firsthand knowledge of gaping wounds.

On that same coin, the act of multidimensional transport is depicted as an aberration of nature, with costly and compounding effects on the human body, a welcome detail that is often ignored in these kinds of stories, which is strange because it would be THE FIRST THING ON MY MIND if someone offered to take me apart at a molecular level and rebuild me on the other side of space-time. Of course it's impossible to tell a story like this without calling upon loving homages to other classics, the likes of Treasure Island, A Yankee In King Arthur's Court and The Time Machine, stories the author no doubt grew up with.

There is an excellent jousting sequence, and a climactic battle with no shortage of flaming arrows and scalding-hot oil. Like the contemporary heroes, we feel as though we are visiting not just a different time, but a different universe of meta-fiction. In Crichton's articulate words the fusion of modern physics and medieval warfare go together like chocolate and peanut-butter, or genetic engineering and dinosaurs. I am obligated to point out glaring plot holes so I will say that the form of time travel presented in Timeline is compelling, but inconsistent.

A shocking discovery early on has the characters unearthing a pair of modern reading glasses at an archaeological dig site, tipping off the crew of the Mystery Machine to the fate of their professor. However, we learn later on that the evil corporate "3D fax machine" that makes the trip possible works, albeit clumsily, by extrapolating microscopic worm-holes in the quantum foam to effectively burrow into another universe where it is still the fourteenth century-- NOT the same as "going back" in time!

This is a unique gimmick, one that the premise of the story is built upon, presumably to avoid the narrative issue of time paradoxes. Logically, anything the characters do in the "Feudal France Universe" should have no effect on our world. But for some reason they do, and it's distracting. So why did they keep finding hints of their past actions in another universe? Despite this confusing point, Timeline is a fantastic, unpretentious, swashbuckling adventure yarn with cool science and cool action, and falls just outside what I would consider Crichton's "comfort zone".

I kept expecting the story to end halfway through the book because he threw in the towel, stepped back and said "wow, this is retarded" and left the last hundred pages blank but he sees it through to the end and the gamut of modern adventure fiction is better off because of it. If you harbor an ill opinion of this book and refuse to read it because you watched the awful film adaptation A mysterious company has been developing new quantum technologies A mysterious archeological site in France founded by the mysterious company leads a professor to seek answers from those who provide his research funding The professor's grad students find modern objects at the site dating back to the 14th century The professor is trapped in time and they must attempt a rescue Here is what I loved about it: The research into theoretical physics and perfect Rating: The research into theoretical physics and perfectly blurring the line between fact and fantasy.

The research into the history and time period. It was in depth, came with sketches that helped to illustrate how it looked, and the descriptions were amazing; made me feel like I was right there in ! The heart-pounding, action-filled storyline and plot.

Not the most complex, but engrossing and exciting. I didn't even mind the mediocre character development in our protagonists. What I hated about this book was the ending. I predicted it all, every single moment cringing at the "muahaha I am evil" obviousness of the "bad guys". The ending had some of the worst written "bad guys" vs. This book that had so much possibility for the modern characters to struggle with the different culture and morality of the 14th century and during most of it is actually did a decent job, until that awful ending where the most morally questionable decisions were made be just as bad as the "bad guys" because they had it coming.

It was such a frustrating ending to an otherwise enjoyable, well-researched, and exciting ride. Mar 16, Kathryn rated it it was ok. I was stunned at the lack of character description in this book. It's no wonder these novels are made so easily into screenplays. Granted, it's only the second Crichton novel I've ever read, so perhaps I should know better?

I'm not sure if the author is implying that people are what make innovations morally wrong, or that extreme innovations are morally wrong by themselves. This story is another instance of the low-tech scientist I was stunned at the lack of character description in this book. This story is another instance of the low-tech scientists in this case, Medieval archaeologists being the heroes, and the high-tech scientists in this case, physicists causing the problem. Further rubbing me the wrong way is a scene early in the novel, where the wholesome blonde archaeologist is viewing a ruin that is full of tourists.

She overhears a tour guide giving misinformation, then witnesses an enthusiastic dad with his- of course- long-suffering child and wife imparting information about the castle that is also incorrect. Does she step in with a smile and offer some correct information or a brief rundown of this castle? No, she watches with disdain and has thoughts along the lines of "That is obviously the kitchen, the hearths are even still there.

The one saving grace of this novel is that Crichton has done his research. I realize good research is one of his hallmarks, but I think it's worth mentioning to any French Medieval enthusiast if you can stomach only being an amateur. Dec 03, Bhanuj rated it really liked it Shelves: Never judge a book by its cover. Also, never judge one by the plot written at the back. Timeline by Michael Crichton is a time-hop action drama, traversing the present and the fourteenth century medieval past.

History gets opened up to the present as a professor is marooned in the fourteenth century medieval world. His students are swept off to the headquarters of ITC, the multinational organization that made the technology possible. The plan is to send them back in time and rescue the professor, Never judge a book by its cover. The plan is to send them back in time and rescue the professor, but things go awry the moment they step into the fourteenth century.

Wars, torture, death and rape are rampant and the group found itself fighting for survival. Timeline does not feature your average run-of-the mill time travel. You are not actually travelling back in time, instead you are travelling across multiverse amongst the multiple parallel universes. The plot appeared quiet nonsensical at first.

An organization develops the technology to time-hop and starts investing in research around historical sites. Their idea is to dig up these historical sites and reconstruct old castles and granaries. What I find ridiculous is that you are sitting on top of the most sensational scientific invention and you decide to use it to create medieval Disneyland and Universal Studios!

But I could not have been more wrong. The book absorbed me right from the beginning, so much so, that by the second half I could not put it down. The writing is remarkable and the subject matter, well researched. The science part of the time-hop is explained brilliantly, giving you the crux of the things without intimidating you into oblivion. The beginning is a bit slow and the end is way too predictable.

Timeline by Michael Crichton

However the action starts soon, and once it begins it stays till the very end. Crichton had me sitting at the edge of my seat in the second half of the book. He made the fourteenth century medieval world not only exciting but nail-biting horrifying, making Timeline a true page turner. You can also read the review here: Another great read by the late Michael Crichton. I always feel a little smarter after having read one of his novels because of his writing approach and how he offers nuggets of factual information. These factual nuggets are what makes his novels so popular.

They are well-researched and laid out in a way that isn't intimidating to the reader.
