Description

The Big Time by Fritz Leiber is a science fiction novella set in a war fought across time. The story takes place in a 'Change War' staging area outside normal time, where soldiers from different eras are recruited to manipulate history. Combining psychological drama with speculative concepts, Leiber’s work reflects Cold War anxieties and explores identity, memory, and the nature of reality.
