The Big Time

Three hussars stride out of the Void into Greta Forzane’s refuge—and before they’ve caught their breath, one is calling his commander a coward and reaching for his sword. In a war where the past itself is a battlefield, this may be the least of Greta’s troubles.

Greta tends the battered soldiers of the Change War at a recuperation station beyond space and time, a place part nightclub, part Zeppelin hangar, where history’s fighters come to recover before heading back into battle. She’s an entertainer as much as a nurse, keeping the wounded amused and human—though the newcomers often bring trouble through the Door with them. These three arrive in identical hussar uniforms, furious, exhausted, and divided by a mission gone wrong. As the Change Winds blow around the station, Greta’s quiet spell between battles begins to break. What followed the hussars through the Door?
