Newly opened by Queen Elizabeth II herself, discover the history and secret stories of the people who've lived above London's newest trainline. Crossrail, or the 'Elizabeth' line, is just the latest way of traversing the very old east-west route through the former countryside, into the capital, and out again. Throughout The Tunnel Through Time, renowned historian Gillian Tindall uncovers the lives of those who walked this ancient path. These people spoke the names of ancient farms, manors and slums that now belong to our squares and tube stations. Visiting Stepney, Liverpool Street, Tottenham Court Road and Oxford Street, Tindall traces the course of many of these historical journeys across time as well as space.

Book Description
The Time Tunnel was by no means a superb product of Friday night entertainment. If the plot holes were not as large as the tunnel itself, viewers noticed the same props from Allen's other television programs popping up on the show. Fan boys to this day still debate whether the futuristic episodes involving space aliens were better than the historic adventures, but few would deny that Lee Meriwether made a lab coat look sexy. Meriwether herself recalled how the cast received letters from school teachers who used The Time Tunnel to stimulate interest in history in the classroom. This 546 page book documents the entire history of the program, the origin and conception of the series, why it never ran a second season, almost 200 never-before-published behind-the-scenes photographs, and a detailed episode guide including dates of production, music cues, episode budgets, salary costs, deleted scenes that were filmed, memories from cast and crew, bloopers, trivia and much more!

The challenge of the road, however, is compounded by strange circumstances. Living secretly on the proposed route, amid ancient Nabatean ruins, is a Palestinian family under the protection of an enigmatic archaeological preservationist.

Book Description
December 12, 2001 Three months have passed since the twin towers collapsed, killing Major Kyle Mason's newlywed bride. His Delta force unit is now in Afghanistan, on the doorstep of Osama Bin Laden's Tora Bora mountain fortress. Kyle is close to his target - within 100 meters of avenging his wife's death. As Delta closes for the kill, a corrupt Afghan warlord betrays the Americans, allowing Bin Laden to escape into Pakistan. Crushed by his failure at Tora Bora, Kyle quits Delta and disappears. Seven years later, Kyle receives a surprise visitor who recruits him for an incredible mission. Using technology at Area 51 recovered from Roswell, New Mexico in 1947, Kyle will travel back in time to stop 9/11 and save his wife. Time Tunnel: The Towers is a daring suspense story that weaves actual history with the tantalizing science of time travel to rewrite history with an alternate ending. The infusion of science with reimagined historical events in Time Tunnel: The Towers will remind readers of the works of Michael Crichton.
