Time Salvager

Time Salvager: a fast-paced time travel adventure from Wesley Chu, the award-winning author of The Lives of Tao.

Convicted criminal
James Griffin-Mars is no one's hero. In his time, Earth is a toxic, abandonedÂ world and humans have fled into the outer solar system to survive, eking out aÂ fragile, doomed existence among the other planets and their moons. Those responsibleÂ for delaying humanity's demise believe time travel holds the key, and they haveÂ identified James, troubled though he is, as one of a select and expendable fewÂ ideally suited for the most dangerous job in history.

James is aÂ chronman, undertaking missions into Earth's past to recover resources andÂ treasure without altering the timeline. The laws governing use of time travelÂ are absolute; break any one of them and, one way or another, your life is over.Â Most chronmen never reach old age; the stress of each jump through time,Â compounded by the risk to themselves and to the future, means that manyÂ chronmen rapidly reach their breaking point, and James Griffin-Mars is nearingÂ his.

On a final mission that is to secure hisÂ retirement, James meets Elise Kim, an intriguing scientist from a previousÂ century, who is fated to die during the destruction of an oceanic rig. AgainstÂ his training and his common sense, and in violation of the chronmen's highestÂ law, James brings Elise back to the future with him, saving her life, butÂ turning them both into fugitives. Remaining free means losing themselves in theÂ wild and poisonous wastes of Earth, somehow finding allies, and perhapsÂ discovering what hope may yet remain for humanity's home world.
