Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas Editorial Team

I was immediately drawn into 'The Big Time' by its unique premise: a war fought across time, with soldiers hopping through eras like a bizarre game of hopscotch. Toren's narration is a perfect fit, her voice capturing the gritty realism of soldiers one moment, then seamlessly shifting to the ethereal strangeness of dreamlike interludes the next. The pacing is breakneck, keeping you on the edge of your seat, but at times, the sheer density of ideas can feel overwhelming. Despite this, Leiber's clever use of time travel tropes and Toren's stellar performance make this audiobook a standout listen for sci-fi fans looking for something different.
