Raiden T. Timeline

Hello! I am Reading a book called Timeline by Michael Crichton. I just finished the book.What happened is that this company discovers time travel on accident. the fund this archaeological dig in rural France. The archaeologists start asking questions on why the sponsors know much more than the archaeologists. Like an undiscovered wall and tower. The professor goes and has a conversation with the owner-president of the company. The head professor goes back in time and gets lost. The people next in line to lead start asking questions. The sponsors bring them in and explain the situation to them. They elect to go back and find him. In there first 5 minutes back their two body guards get killed by a group of English Knights. The three college age students are left back in mid evil Castle Guard France searching for the lost professor. They get caught by both French and English lords. They will inevitably get caught in a battle between the French and the English. Will they ever get back? To make it more interesting. They only have 37 hours to stay in France or they can never return. They eventually find the professor just to get recaptured by the English... again. They eventually make it out but Marek decides to stay in time. He wanted to see what it would be like to grow old in mid evil era. This is a very good book because the author is able to make a blend of compelling science and amazing history. I think the reason the author wrote this book was to make a blend between the mid evil era and new sciences that are  emerging or will emerge. I think the author is trying to show that one and the other ( mid evil and present times) don't have to be locked at as a separate time, but that someday the two can be brought together. The best author. I think the best character in the story is Andre Marek because he is able to show blend in with the people and show the other characters in the book how to live in the time period. Andre has maybe not learned about the mid evil era but he did learn more about himself in the process because he learns that he wants to live in the mid evil era. A quote from the book is "His Family motto, echoing Richard Lionheart, appeared above the coat of arms: Mes compaingnons cui j'amoie et cui j'aim, ... Mi di, chanson. "She paused." 'Companions whom I loved, and still do love, ... Tell them my song." This quote from the book is important because it shows that Andre still had a good sense of companionship and legacies while he never forgot his friends, never would and wanted his descendants to remember him.
