'This Thing Of Darkness' by Garry Thompson.
A cracking tale of the man who enabled Darwin.

Time Salvagers by Wesly Chu. A very good take on time travel.
I must look out for his other stuff....The Lives Of Tau series

For a slightly different crime/thriller, I can heartily recommend"Eleven Days" by Donald Harstad

IIRC yes

Good, now try "A Wrinkle in the Skin" by the same author

on the subject of John Christopher "A Wrinkle in the Skin" is worth a read.
