Book Overview

by Amal El-Mohtar (Author), Max Gladstone (Author)

The gorgeous, enthralling hardcover deluxe edition of the bestselling Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Award-winning sci-fi novella spanning time and space about two time-traveling rivals who fall in love and must change the past to ensure their future. Including new cover art, stenciled edges, designed endpapers, and a deluxe printed and debossed case.

Among the ashes of a dying world, an agent of the Commandment finds a letter. It reads: Burn before reading.

Thus begins an unlikely correspondence between two rival agents hellbent on securing the best possible future for their warring factions. Now, what began as a taunt, a battlefield boast, becomes something more. Something epic. Something romantic. Something that could change the past and the future.

Except the discovery of their bond would mean the death of each of them. There's still a war going on, after all. And someone has to win. That's how war works, right?

Cowritten by two beloved and award-winning sci-fi writers, This Is How You Lost the Time War is an "exquisitely crafted tale" (Publishers Weekly, starred review) that spans time and space. Now fans can rejoice with the beautiful new design, which perfectly complements the novella's breathtaking exploration of time travel, heart-pounding romance, and the intense rivalry that spans across the ages.
