A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

In a future when Earth is a toxic, abandoned world and humanity has spread into the outer solar system to survive, the tightly controlled use of time travel holds the key to maintaining a fragile existence among the other planets and their moons. 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 and treasure without altering the timeline. Most chronmen never reach old age, and 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 and 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 and poisonous wastes of Earth, and discovering what hope may yet remain for humanity's home world.

Revue de presse :

'Time twisting action-adventure as only Wesley Chu could imagine it. I enjoyed it a lot. Read this book!' --Author of the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning Ancillary Justice, Ann Leckie

'Exciting, interesting, and never forgetting the fun of ideas, this is brilliant new stuff.' --Author of London Falling, Paul Cornell

'More than a compelling, innovative take on the perks and pitfalls of time travel - Time Salvager is a sharp study of how human nature might prove mankind's salvation, or eventually doom us all. This is world-building that will make you fear for the future. In a good way.' --Author of Maplecroft, Cherie Priest
