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.
