Query: Cliche City

Fairly entertaining, but I got the distinct impression that Crichton gathered every science fiction, action/adventure, and medieval cliche he could find and crammed them into this book. Main characters are shallow, intriguing characters (the Gallup cop, for one) are dropped. After awhile, I greeted every new twist with "Oh, please -- like we haven't seen that one a few hundred times." For someone who purports to want to set the record straight about the middle ages, Crichton seems to me to pretty much follow the images established by old Hollywood. And his explanations about time and inter-universe travel conflict each other all over the place. You know, I really liked "Coma".
