This science fiction novel follows the story of a soldier conscripted to fight in an interstellar war against an alien species known as the Taurans. Due to the time dilation effects of space travel at near-light speeds, the soldier experiences only months of combat, while centuries pass on Earth. Each time he returns from a mission, he finds an unrecognizable society with new technologies and altered social norms. The narrative explores the psychological and emotional impact of war, time displacement, and the soldier's struggle to find a sense of belonging in a constantly changing world. As the conflict drags on through the eons, the soldier begins to question the purpose of the war and the high cost of human life in the face of such temporal vastness.

"The Big Time" is a science fiction novel that delves into the concept of a temporal war, where two factions, the Spiders and the Snakes, battle across history to shape the future to their design. The story unfolds in a rest-and-recreation station outside of normal time and space, known as The Place, where soldiers from different eras are recruited to fight in this endless conflict. The narrative is driven by the personal experiences and interactions of these soldiers, particularly focusing on the perspective of Greta, an entertainer at The Place, as they grapple with the implications of their existence outside of time and the moral complexities of their roles in the war. The novel explores themes of identity, causality, and the nature of conflict, all within the confines of a tightly controlled setting that challenges the very notion of reality.
