Two time-traveling agents from warring futures, working their way through the past, begin to exchange letters—and fall in love in this thrilling and romantic book from award-winning authors Amal-El Mohtar and Max Gladstone.
Among the ashes of a dying world, an agent of the Commandant 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, grows into something more. Something epic. Something romantic. Something that could change the past and the future.
Except the discovery of their bond would mean death for each of them. There’s still a war going on, after all. And someone has to win that war. That’s how war works. Right?
Cowritten by two beloved and award-winning sci-fi writers, This Is How You Lose the Time War is an epic love story spanning time and space.

在一個十月的夜裡,群星忽然綻放光芒,然後同時熄滅。那一年泰勒十二歲,與他最好的朋友雙胞胎黛安、傑森一起目睹了這一幕,他們的人生與整個世界的命運從此改變。一張不知名的黑網遮蓋了地球,黑網之外,整個宇宙的時間正以驚人的速度前進,地球上的一瞬間,對太陽卻是千百萬年。熟悉的世界一夕改變,全球陷入恐慌,股市崩盤、社會動盪,有的人自殺,有的人發瘋,有的人則裝作一切正常。
在末日的陰影下,泰勒與雙胞胎漸漸長大,走上完全不同的道路。傑森成為頂尖科學家,用先進科技展開探索;黛安歸向宗教,在神學中尋找心靈慰藉;泰勒選擇成為濟世救人的醫生,卻不知道這在世界毀滅時還有什麼意義。地球之外的時間仍然不停流逝,太陽即將走到生命盡頭,那一天也將是人類的末日……一個讓你感同身受的動人故事,在每一天都可能是最後一天的絕望中,該如何找回心靈的勇氣?
