Book Description

April 2002
Robert Dolinger es el joven dueño de una empresa de investigación científica llamada ITC ubicada en Nueva México. Se le reconoce como genio, extremadamente exigente y con una capacidad enorme de trabajo. ITC también está financiando varias costosas excavaciones arqueológicas por diferentes partes del mundo. Al principio de la novela sabemos que ITC necesita otra gran cantidad de dinero para seguir adelante con sus investigaciones y para conseguirlo se necesitan pruebas de los adelantos en sus proyectos para enseñar a los posibles inversionistas. Robert decide que las excavaciones que se están llevando a cabo en la región de la Dordogne en Francia son las más avanzadas y allí envía a Diane, una de sus ayudantes para que consiga estas pruebas.

Un grupo de expertos americanos está excavando el castillo de Castelgard y todos sus alrededores. Diane les informa que ITC quiere que vayan más de prisa y que empiecen ya la reconstrucción de los edificios. El profesor Johnson, el responsable de los trabajos, le contesta que es totalmente imposible, que todavía no saben lo suficiente para hacerlo con autenticidad. Pero, es evidente que ITC sabe mucho más que los historiadores de cómo era Castelgard, tiene planos del monasterio, de todo ¿Pero cómo?

Johnson acompaña a Diana a ITC para informarse y lo que descubre ni no lo habría soñado. ITC ha desarrollado un sistema de viajar hacia atrás en el tiempo. El método está basada en la física cuántica, descompone la materia del lugar de origen y lo recompone en el tiempo elegido. Miembros del equipo de ITC ya han viajado al Castelgard de hace 600 años y por lo tanto saben exactamente como eran la ciudad, el castillo, el monasterio...

Mientras tanto en Francia los arqueólogos descubren una pila de documentos dentro de las excavaciones y sobre uno está escrito en su letra un mensaje escrito por Johnson, " Ayúdame, 7.4.1357". Todos los tests demuestran que es auténtico, fue escrito en el año que pone.

5.0 out of 5 stars DAZZLING...HIGHLY IMAGINATIVE...STUNNING WORK OF FICTION..., January 3, 2003
This review is from: Rescate en el Tiempo (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
This is the Spanish text edition of an absolute page turner of a book. It opens with one of the most absorbing first chapters I have ever read. An elderly man is found wandering in the desert, speaking in rhyme. There is something not quite right about him. The hospital to which he is taken discovers that the anomalies do not end with just his speech. Something is very wrong with him.

Highly inventive and compelling, the reader is reeled in hook, line, and sinker, right from the get go. A wholly plot driven book, make no mistake about it, the story revolves around a highly secretive, technological corporation, ITC, headed up by a megalomaniacal, young genius, who is tooling around with quantum physics in a way that has never before been done. Our genius is spearheading a project that is truly cutting edge. Of course, he is not doing this for the betterment of mankind. He is doing it simply because it will ultimately result in mega bucks for him, if all goes according to plan. Alas, the best-laid plans often go awry.

Cut to a group of dedicated historians who are involved in an archaeological dig, located along the Dordogne River in France. Their project, the ultimate restoration of a fourteenth century, feudal town, is very generously funded by ITC. Now why would a technological giant such as ITC be funding such a project?

This is the basic premise of the book. The use of quantum physics is applied in such a way as to access the past. Here, a group of historians find themselves with the chance of a lifetime. They can actually enter fourteenth century, feudal France and experience it themselves. There is quite an adventure in store for them.

Their reason for doing so, however, is not research. They are actually on a mission to rescue their chief historian who had ventured into fourteenth century, feudal France, using ITC's technological application of quantum physics. Due to an unfortunate set of circumstances, however, he found himself mired in the fourteenth century and unable to return to the present, as originally planned.

What happens to these intrepid historians will captivate the reader. Well written and thoroughly researched, those who, like me, love science fiction, as well as historical fiction, will, most likely, enjoy this book. As a devotee of medieval history, I was entranced by the historical detail contained within the novel. I also found the book somewhat reminiscent of the sci-fi television series called "Sliders", in which the concept of quantum physics is utilized in order to slide into parallel universes.

All in all, this well-written novel makes for riveting, escapist entertainment. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and found that I simply could not put it down!
