In a nutshell, there’s a man called Wallace that is definitely not a good person. One day, he dies. However, the story tells us what happens after he dies. Of course, I don’t want to write spoilers.

In this war, these two enemies end up falling in love until some one’s boss discovers this “affair”.

I recommend the book for those who enjoy both science fiction and romance though.
