The idea for this btw is not a new one. I remember this reading Micheal Crichton book called Timeline ~ http://www.crichton-official.com/books-timeline.html which in itself is based on an idea by Leo A. Frankowski who wrote a book called Cross-Time Engineer ~ http://www.amazon.com/Cross-Time-Engineer-Adventures-Conrad-...

Oh, what a shame :-( I remember reading Jurassic Park 2, and then being appalled to see how the fairly reasonable science in the novel was just flat out massacred in the film. Worse yet, the film absolutely killed the best parts of the plot. However I was yet another turned off by Timeline. It was the next book of Crichton's that I read after JP2, and I was seriously disappointed... I don't remember the details now, but there were several glaring flaws in the logic of the story, not to mention some of the stuff about language just seemed so far fetched to me. Still, there can be no doubt that Crichton was a very talented man. His contributions to our culture will be missed.
