Snatch teams of a far future in which humans are horribly mutated kidnap those about to die in past catastrophes in order to people a new, healthy world.  Fun time-travel adventure narrated by Louise Baltimore, a tough and cynical snatch team leader, and, alternately, by Bill Smith, the unhappy NTSB man in charge of investigating the 1980 mid-air collision of two passenger jets.  Varley makes even his time-travel theory go down smoothly by giving us characters we not only care about, but who for the most part don't understand it any better than we do.  Exciting and funny, and based on the author's own excellent short story "Air Raid."  Varley also wrote the script for 1989's Millennium, starring Kris Kristofferson and Cheryl Ladd.
