Title: Sci Fi Classic
Product review: Buying time is another strong classic sf novel by Haldeman. A lot of the technology seems dated now, looking back, but a lot of it still exceeds what we have today, which is amazing. His ability to put together plausible futures is close to unparalleled. Like a lot of Heinlein novels, Haldeman's early books more than hold up today if you can imagne them as "future history" that never actually happened. He's short on character but long on ideas and action. There is also always great scenery. Following the heroes through their adventures are always a lot of fun as they bounce from one strange city to another, not always on Earth.
