Caleb, top time snatcher, travels through time acquiring objects for the highest bidder. A former orphan who was adopted and trained by the morally ambiguous Uncle, Caleb likes his work. But when Uncle forces the time snatchers to snatch kids as recruits, Caleb questions his future in time travel. Flat secondary characters detract from Ungar's interesting premise.
