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, abandoned world, and humans have fled into the outer solar system to survive, eking out a fragile, doomed existence among the other planets and their moons. Those responsible for delaying humanity's demise believe time travel holds the key, and they have identified James, troubled though he is, as one of a select and expendable few ideally suited for the most dangerous job in history.
James is a chronman, undertaking missions into Earth's past to recover resources and treasure without altering the timeline. The laws governing use of time travel are absolute; break any one of them and, one way or another, your life is over. Most chronmen never reach old age; the stress of each jump through time, compounded by the risk to themselves and to the future, means that many chronmen rapidly reach their breaking points, and James Griffin-Mars is nearing his.
On a final mission that is to secure his retirement, James meets Elise Kim, an intriguing scientist from a previous century who is fated to die during the destruction of an oceanic rig. Against his training and his common sense, and in violation of the chronmen's highest law, James brings Elise 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, somehow finding allies, and perhaps discovering what hope may yet remain for humanity's home world.

Would you try another book from Wesley Chu and/or Kevin T. Collins?
The story was not the issue for me. It was a unique and nicely developed idea, the characters were well crafted, the future world they lived in was nicely put together. I felt that the author had the story 95% developed. The major turn off was the many unnecessary "F" words and I felt that often times the main body of the story was put on hold as the characters minds would 'meander' through non-critical details that never came out as important and didn't add to the character. Simply a bit more fine-tuned editing and it would receive 5 stars from meWhat does Kevin T. Collins bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The narration was welldone, no complaints there. Diction, prose, accents, character changes all greatDo you think Time Salvager needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
I think the story could have been continued easily!Brilliant Story, Sub-par execution

good story, annoying narrator

Mr. Collins has one major draw back as a narrator in my opinion. He tries to use his voice to heighten the drama or emotional content of scene, but is seems forced and distracts instead of heightening. I did not hear as much of it in this book as in others he has done, but it is still there.
Interesting premise. So So execution
