The Big Time. By Fritz Leiber FULL Audiobook
The Big Time is a science fiction novel by Fritz Leiber, first published in 1958. The book won the Hugo Award for Best Novelette in 1958. The story is set in a future where two factions, the Spiders and the Snakes, are engaged in a long-term conflict called "The Change War". The two groups are capable of time travel and their method of battle involves changing the outcomes of events throughout history. The true forms or identities of the Spiders and the Snakes, how those nicknames were chosen, or whether they are in any way descriptive are all unknown. The narrator of the novel is Greta, a young human female employed at a Recuperation Station where soldiers recover from battles. Greta is an Entertainer: part prostitute, part nurse, part psychotherapist. However, other characters narrate parts of the story in lengthy monologues about their experiences and opinions as they visit the spider-staffed facility. New soldiers, entertainers, and medical staff are recruited by existing Change War participants from various places and times. Soldiers from the armies of Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, Napoleon, and Stalin may find themselves fighting side-by-side or on opposing sides. Medical staff and entertainers are inducted into the temporal war to provide medical treatment, rest, and relaxation for injured and weary combatants. The Big Time is a story involving only a few characters, but with a vast, cosmic back story. The book is a short science fiction novel, but it is packed with action, adventure, and suspense. It is a must-read for science fiction fans who enjoy time travel and alternate history stories.
