Books like Time salvager by Wesley Chu
In a future where Earth has turned into a toxic, abandoned world, humanity has fled to the outer solar system, surviving on the lonely planets and their moons. A covert group, desperate to halt humanity’s decline, believes that time travel is the key to their survival. They have identified James Griffin‑Mars—a troubled, convicted criminal—as one of a select, expendable few whose skills make him uniquely suited for the most dangerous job in history.
James, no one’s hero, must confront a treacherous timeline and the moral weight of his own past to undertake a mission that could alter the fate of all human life beyond Earth.
"Time Salvager" explores themes of redemption, the ethics of sacrifice, and the fragility of human existence in the harsh environment of space.
