The Three Body Problem? Not my problem. Dune? Dust in the wind. The Hyperion Cantos? I couldn’t be bothered on a good day. I don’t have time to deal with a series of sci-fi tomes thicker than quantum physics textbooks. I’m too busy spending my time in unscientific ways. Eating yogurt. Drawing on walls. Staring up at the moon and wondering if it’s made of gruyere or brie. When it comes to intelligent contemplation of big ideas, there are only so many hours in the day, and mine are occupied by the opposite. That’s why when I read sci-fi, I expect it to stand on its own two feet and not require a massive commitment. I need the 10 best standalone sci-fi books, and these authors have delivered.
This Is How You Lose The Time War
(Simon and Schuster)When I’m contemplating the mystery of love in an equally mysterious universe, I don’t have the energy to do it over 10 novels. My heart can barely take one. Lucky for my heart, that “one” comes in the form of This Is How You Lose The Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone. It’s the story of Red and Blue, two time traveling agents from opposite ends of the future, each attempting to win a time war for their respective faction by diving into the past. As the pair thwart each other’s best laid plans, they slowly realize that they want to lay each other in the process. They begin a casual, epistolary correspondence that soon begins to burn with the passionate fire of a quasar in a galaxy’s core. Tender. Juicy. Existentially Tragic. It’s how I like my steaks and my novels alike.
