Title: contrived and formulaic
Review: This strikes me as a book designed to cash in on his own popularity following the Jurassic Park novels. It's poorly thought out, with characters who are insufficiently fleshed out, and a premise (multiple universes?) that's even more unbelievable than time travel. it's full of baldly milked suspense, and the whole thing comprises 4 archaeologists trying to get together long enough to press a button to send them back to where they came from. sounds boring? well, it's about as exciting and rewarding as watching grass grow. and the obligatory obstacles that MC puts in their way are, this one gets lost. then the other. and then the 3rd. and then the 1st one again. wow. talk about a roller coaster ride in slow-mo. colour me bored.
