Title: Skip It unless you are a Middle Ages buff . . .
Review: The two best things about this book are the historical detail come to life, and the realistic technobabble about quantum mechanics. In a thriller I expect tight plot construction, but this book is as sloppy as hell which spoils a lot of the enjoyment. Examples: a time travel message is sent back as a warning and never mentioned again by any character. A refutation of time anomalies (i.e., killing your grandfather so you were never born) is poorly explained. A cop and doctor in the beginning are dropped without any tie in. The death of the chief exec of the hi tech firm is inconsistently cruel at the end. Overall, a long sloppy and disatisfying read. Historians could learn however from the way Crichton paints a real life portrait of the middle ages. Skip It.
