Time Salvager
Wesley Chu°°°
James Griffin-Mars is a chronman--a convicted criminal recruited for his unique psychological makeup to undertake the most dangerous job there is: missions into Earth's past to recover resources & treasure without altering the timeline. Most chronmen never reach old age, & James is reaching his breaking point.
On his final mission, James meets scientist Elise Kim, who is fated to die during the destruction of an oceanic rig. Against his training & common sense, James brings her back to the future with him, saving her life, but turning them both into fugitives. Remaining free means losing themselves in the wild & poisonous wastes of Earth, & discovering what hope may yet remain for humanity's home world.
