This Is How You Lose the Time War

by Amal El-Mohtar

Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone's This Is How You Lose the Time War is a slim, fierce epistolary romance between two enemy agents trading letters across the wreckage of warring timelines. It's science fiction built on language and longing more than mechanics, and it rewards readers who love prose that performs.
