We are so unbelievably proud to announce that the incredible @maxgladstone & @tithenai have done it again!! Another win for the unstoppable THIS IS HOW YOU LOSE THE TIME WAR.
Excuse us for a moment.
The #LocusAwards2020 Novella Winner is This Is How You Lose the Time War, Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone (Saga).
Hence The Times competition in the early 1920s to find the most dramatic newspaper headline, one guaranteed you'd read (100yr old clickbait if you will). Winner: 'Archduke found alive, World War fought in vain.'
#OnThisDay in 1914 – 105 years ago – Archduke of Austria Franz Ferdinand and his wife were assassinated in Sarajevo by Serbian nationalist Gavrilo Princip. The event triggered a chain reaction which led to the beginning of the First World War.

Today marks 70 years since the start of the Korean War, often described as a forgotten conflict.
More than 80,000 British personnel served, under the UN flag, & more than 1,000 died. A further 3,700 Brits were recorded wounded, captured or missing.
These splendid vehicles had to be specially built to reach high buildings but also be able to drive around the narrow streets in the City of London.

This should be read by any enemy of terrorists. A book I'll have to buy, I think.
