Waiting on Wednesday 11/26/14
“Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine that lets us feature upcoming releases that we can’t wait to get our hands on!
Mogsy’s Pick:
Time Salvager by Wesley Chu: July 7, 2015 (Tor)
We’re wrapping up the last Waiting on Wednesday of Sci-Fi November with Time Salvager from the awesome Wesley Chu, who is also the author of the popular Tao series from Angry Robot.
Also, confession time: I’ve actually read an early version of this book as a beta reader. It’s amazing, so if you’re excited about getting your hands on this book in July of next year…well yeah, you really should be!
“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 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 a final mission that is to secure his retirement, James meets an intriguing woman from a previous century, scientist Elise Kim, who is fated to die during the destruction of an oceanic rig. Against his training and his 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.”
