Alfred A. Knopf, 1999 - Fiction - 449 pages
On the threshold of the twenty-first century, information moves instantly between two points without wires or networks. Any moment of the past can be actualised and a group of historians can enter, literally, life in fourteenth-century France. The historians are employed by a tech billionaire-genius. He plans a theme park featuring artifacts from a lost world revived via cutting-edge science. The project's chief historian sends a distress call to 1999 from 1357, but the risks are huge.
