Timeline

Though I'm reviewing two time travel books in a short time, I usually don't read time travel fiction, because there always seems to be a rush on things imposed solely by the author.  There was a fair amount of this in here, but most of it had the explanation that the time machine would disappear in a day.  The plot was decent.  The technology explanation seemed mildly believable, especially when they threw in facts that most people know.  I loved how they had to struggle with the languages of the time.  Most authors seem to think that people all spoke English centuries ago.
