Invictus

Invictus by Ryan Graudin

Text from the back cover:

Farway Gaius McCarthy is the son of a time traveler from 2354 AD and a gladiator living in ancient Rome.  His very existence defies the laws of nature.  Far has always wanted to explore history for himself, but after failing his entrance exam into the government program, he will have to settle for a position on the black market -- captaining a time-traveling crew to steal valuables from the past.  During a heist on the sinking Titanic, Far meets a mysterious girl named Eliot who has secrets that will affect Far's life.  Armed with the knowledge that history is not as steady as it seems, she will lead Far and his team on a race through time to set things right before the clock runs out.
