Salvation's Edge by O'Brien, Michael

Description: Gussalen, a young woman condemned to death in medieval England, is ripped away from all she knows, first by injustice, then by time travelers. This so-called rescue thrusts her into a new, unimaginable universe-one she cannot distinguish from Hell. Her saviors, Terry and Les-recruited by future scientists to gather lost historical data and DNA samples-must also transport the precious crystelix, a navigation device crucial to the Angeléka, the spacecraft that will carry them all away from the Earth to a new future settlement of humanity. The crystelix is not only precious in getting the Angeléka back to her home era and planet, however. As they carry its valuable components through multiple realities, the three must learn and adapt to new timelines that hold both wonder and horror, staying clear of danger, would-be thieves, and even a possible traitor. Through it all, they must also come to terms with personal demons. Gussalen, chased by specters of damnation, endures a future shock that is completely lost on Terry. A happy-go-lucky runaway born in the 1970s, Terry is not always in sync with Les, a disciplined veteran battling his own traumatic memories. All three have secret feelings of indifference to their destination, but they know that if the crystelix is lost, they, along with the entire crew, will be stranded in the limbo of forgotten history. When he's not writing or having an adventure, Mike O'Brien works as a seaplane pilot in Ketchikan, Alaska, flying charters, delivering mail, and showing others the beauty of the natural world. The San Jose State graduate and Redwood City, California, native came from a big family of aunts, uncles and cousins, as well as five older sisters.He loves piloting machines, especially those that fly. His interest in science fiction began with reading and continued with building models, watching all things Star Wars and Star Trek, and longing to go, see, and do. He is always looking to add to his life more chapters about travel and exploration.
