Books like The depths of time by Roger MacBride Allen
The settled universe of terraformed worlds is connected by timeshafts—temporal wormholes that serve as the only means of interstellar travel. The Chronologic Patrol safeguards these critical passages and averts time paradoxes. During a vital mission, a disaster turns Captain Anton Koffield of the Upholder into a dark legend. When relief ships are attacked near a timeshaft and crews are massacred, Koffield must destroy the time tunnel to stop the invasion. The act leaves him stranded eighty years in the future, living as a cursed figure perceived as a villain who destroyed a world. His journey through time continues beyond this pivotal moment.
