Fritz Leiber (1910-1992) may be best known as a fantasy writer, but he
published widely and successfully in the horror and science fiction fields. One
of his major SF creations is the Change War, a series of stories and short
novels about rival time-traveling forces locked in a bitter, ages-long struggle
for control of the human universe where battles alter history and then change
it again until there's no certainty about what might once have happened.
The most notable work of the series is the Hugo Award-winning novel The Big
Time, in which doctors, entertainers, and wounded soldiers find themselves
treacherously trapped with an activated atomic bomb inside the Place, a room
existing outside of space-time. Leiber creates a tense, claustrophobic SF
mystery, and a brilliant, unique locked-room whodunit.In addition to the Hugo,
Nebula, Derleth, Lovecraft, and World Fantasy Awards, Fritz Leiber received the
Grand Master of Fantasy (Gandalf) Award, the Life Achievement Lovecraft Award,
and the Grand Master Nebula Award.
