Timeline

I recently read Doomsday Book by Connie Willis. Timeline shares themes with it. Historians travel through time to the middle ages, including 1348, the year of the Black Death. The circumstances are quite different, though. In Timeline, the corporation that developed the time travel technology had in mind cashing in on it, just as in Crichton's Jurassic Park. And back in medieval times, things were quite different between the two books. In Timeline, our time travelers get mixed up in aristocratic intrigue and warring fiefdoms. In both, they were rescued just in the nick of time.
