In the ashes of a dying world, Red finds a letter marked “Burn before reading. Signed, Blue.”
So begins an unlikely correspondence between two rival agents in a war that stretches through the vast reaches of time and space.
Red belongs to the Agency, a post-singularity technotopia. Blue belongs to Garden, a single vast consciousness embedded in all organic matter. Their pasts are bloody and their futures mutually exclusive. They have nothing in common—save that they’re the best, and they’re alone.
Now what began as a battlefield boast grows into a dangerous game, one both Red and Blue are determined to win. Because winning’s what you do in war. Isn’t it?
A tour de force collaboration from two powerhouse writers that spans the whole of time and space.

圖書標籤: 科幻 美國 Sci-Fi 小說 同性 LGBT+ 姬 百閤
讀一半就能猜齣劇情 書信裏描述的半吊子世界觀讓人沒頭沒腦;雖然書信感人 但不是都因為愛情願意為對方犧牲自己瞭嗎 女主之一又有瞭老公什麼鬼。。。很失望
評分第55屆星雲奬獲奬作品,打敗特德薑,爆冷奪冠。怎麼說呢,確實太軟瞭,如今美國科幻小說已經不流行搞太空歌劇或者傳統硬科幻瞭,而是以科幻外殼重點描述一些平權、環保、共存之類的議題。這部也是,講兩名擔負未來科技派彆的對立特工頭子的姬情。科幻奇幻不分傢也就算瞭,純愛小說現在也能加個sci fic背景獲奬瞭嗎……
評分太浪漫啦!明明是敵對的雙方,為你服毒,為你叛國!書信太好磕瞭,看著她們從傲嬌逐漸變形...救命????
評分hmmmm最後圓的還是有些cliche 但是這也太浪漫瞭吧!【I sought loneliness when I was young. But when I think of you, I want to be alone together】【I want to scorch the thousand earths between us to see what blooms from the ash, so we can discover it hand in hand, content in context, intelligible only to each other. I want to meet you in every place I have loved】
評分今年星雲奬得主,穿越時空的殺死伊芙。劇情非常少,大部分是兩個女人的情書。很詩意,很浪漫——有點太浪漫瞭,浪漫到有點兒牙磣。“I’ll be all the poets, I’ll kill them all and take each one’s place in turn, and every time love’s written in all the strands it will be to you.”
