That is an absolute must, gets my hearty endorsement! Still, I love this book for its hard treatment of the trauma and realities of war, even fictional, rather than the time-dilation, per se.
The best treatment of time travel I've ever seen is a Babylon 5 two-parter called "War Without End". Like all of B5, it's part of a wider story and somewhat hard to fully appreciate as a stand-alone episode. Also, it mixes in heavily with another episode, from two seasons back. It made for some retcons, but it also made for an excellent time-travel story!
In the category of time-loop stories (you know the ones, same event repeating over and over until someone breaks the cycle), I must mention the all-time best SG-1 episode "Window of Opportunity". MUST WATCH!
Thanks for the giveaway! I don't think I'll be entering, but I might yet back another's bid :-)
