Summary: 5 Stars
Timeline is a great book that explodes with energy from the very beginning. It is about a group of historians, Chris, Marek, and Kate, who travel back in time to bring back their professor. From the very start, things go wrong. Their two guides are killed in their first minutes of getting there and the only machines they have to get back in are destroyed. They go through many obstacles to get everybody together to go back. Sir Guy de Malegant and Robert de Kere are the main people after Chris, Marek, and Kate. But the significant thing about de Kere is that he came from present time and was sent the same way the others were. De Kere has the same earpiece that the others have and know where they are at all times. Marek finally figured he had it and tricked de Kere by leading him and his troops in another direction. They finally find the professor, who is with Lord Oliver, showing them how to make gunpowder that will burn more when water touches it. He shows them this because Oliver's army is about to fight Arnaut's army. During the fight they all get together and go back.The theme of this book is to fallow your dreams and finish what you start. I liked the characters a lot. There were a lot of characters to remember, but it wasn't too confusing. I thought the book was very well written and would recommend it to anyone.
