The imperial superpowers that employ agents Red and Blue are at war. Time travel is their weapon of choice and the deep cosmos, ultramodern metropolitans, and plunging Atlantis are their battlegrounds. An inscription—burn before reading—on a letter in the wreckage of a battle lost starts a rivalrous correspondence between them. But the line between taunt and flirtation grays with every exchange. The opponents dance between attack and diplomacy, between conditioned loathe and what might be love. But the learning of their penpalship by Red’s superior means a stop to their repartee and perhaps something worse for Blue. Can Red do what her commanding officer is asking of her? And in a world rampant with time travel, is anything permanent?
