In this multiple-award-winning novella, warring agents Red (of the technology-based Agency) and Blue (of the flora-based Garden) are pitted against one another throughout multiple timelines. Evenly matched in intelligence and warcraft, Blue begins what becomes an increasingly elaborate correspondence through letters left as paper, yes, but also as boiling water, pits on bones, seeds, ashes, feathers, and so much more. As the letters continue, their regard for one another grows into star-crossed love. The story is beautifully, lyrically told and the inventiveness of the authors knows no bounds. I look forward to discussing it with the Orcs & Aliens next Monday night.
