What a blast. An excellent story about the lone survivor of a time war that has shattered time across the universe. All he wants is to be left alone, protecting the future from anything similar ever happening again.
I loved this from start to finish. I love a time travel story, especially where the mechanisms and consequences of time travel are self consistent and interesting - and this is a treatment of time travel I’d never come across before. Tchaikovsky seems to excel at writing the kind of flippant first-person narrative that I really enjoy, and the whole story is peppered with funny, snarky, witty, pithy, outrageous and simply joyous little moments of fun and dark humour. And the storytelling is superb.
Six stars out of five, rounded down.
My rating: ★★★★★
