This is a wonderful, complex, beautifully constructed novella, a love story between two operatives from opposite sides of a time war.
Red, we gradually learn, is an operative of the side that's building a technologically advanced future culture. Blue is an operative of the side that relies on biological science, the side that is called Garden. They encounter each other, at a distance at first, as they work on their respective assignments, increasingly assigned--as the best operatives each side has--to undo each other's work.
And then they start exchanging letters.
That's dangerous, and they use increasingly complex methods to make their letters secure against their superiors--but of course that can't work forever. Then things get even more complicated.
This story is an absolute delight to listen to.
I listened to this book via Scribd.
