The Big Time by Fritz Leiber ~ Full Audiobook [scifi]

The Big Time by Fritz Leiber audiobook.

Genre: scifi

In The Big Time, Fritz Leiber drops you into a war that cannot be mapped on any battlefield: the Change War, fought across centuries by two shadowy factions known as the Snakes and the Spiders. Far outside ordinary time sits a cramped, worn, strangely cozy way station called the Place - part barracks, part backstage, part refuge - where wounded agents are patched up, debriefed, and sent back into history. Greta, the station's sharp-tongued, big-hearted hostess, keeps the fragile peace among a small, tense cast of soldiers, misfits, and drifters pulled from different eras. When a new arrival is dragged in from 20th-century America, he expects heroics and clear causes, but the Place runs on secrets, cover stories, and rules no one fully explains. Then something goes wrong: an unseen presence slips past safeguards that are supposed to be absolute, paranoia spikes, and the station's inhabitants must decide who to trust when even time itself is a weapon. Fast, witty, and claustrophobically intense, Leiber's classic explores identity, loyalty, and what a never-ending war does to the people trapped between its battles.
