Hamilton, author of Pandora’s Star, Judas Unchained, The Dreaming Void Only a writer as skillfull and knowledgeable as Haldeman could use war's dark glamour to lure the reader in and then deplou the sam fascination to show just what kind of effect this orchestrated barbarism can have on the human soul.” -Peter F.

A beautifully detailed and intensely personal account of a conflict which lasts for over a thousand years, as told by one grunt who lives through it all. Anyone who talks about the glory of war has obviously never read it. “I first read this twenty years ago and have never forgotten the wonder and fury it kindled at the time. “A parable whose lessons are needful learning once more.” -John Scalzi, author of Old Man’s War, The Ghost Brigades, Zoe’s Tale That it happens to be set in the future only broadens and enhances its message.” -Greg Bear, author of Moving Mars, Eon, The Forge of God “FOREVER WAR is brilliant-one of the most influential war novels of our time. A classic to grace either genre.” -James Sallis, author of The Long Legged Fly, Drive, Cripple Creek

“ The Forever War is not just a great Science Fiction novel, it's a great Vietnam war novel - and a great war novel, without qualification- that is also Science Fiction. “If there was a Fort Knox for Science Fiction writers, we'd have to lock Joe Haldeman up.” - Stephen King, author of The Shining, The Dead Zone, The Stand Simply extraordinary.” -Junot Diaz, Pulitzer Prize winning author of The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao like all the best works of literature THE FOREVER WAR takes you apart and then, before you can turn that last page, puts you back together: better, wiser, more human. and protagonist William Mandella's attempt to survive and remain human in the face of an absurd almost endless war is harrowing hilarious heartbreaking and true. Haldeman, a veteran, is a flat-out visionary. “Perhaps the most important war novel written since Vietnam. The Forever War is one such book, and like those others still carries with it that air of recognition and possibility.” -Jonathan Lethem, author of Gun With Occcasional Music, Fortress of Solitude “There are a handful of moments when an American science fiction novel abruptly and seemingly effortlessly satisfied every possible expectation conveyed not only by the genre's ambitions, but of those of the whole literary landscape with which it was contemporary: Sturgeon's More Than Human, Dick's The Man In The High Castle, LeGuin's Dispossessed, Gibson's Neuromancer. It is, for all its techno-extrapolative brilliance, as fine and woundingly genuine a war story as any I've read.” -William Gibson, author of Neuromancer, Spook Country “To say that The Forever War is the best science fiction war novel ever written is to damn it with faint praise.
