Review title: How could Haldeman do it?
Product review: I saw the book yesterday lunch-time at Sydney airport terminal and had a few hours to fill in. The Forever War is one of my very favourite hard sf books and I couldn,t believe my good fortune in spotting the sequel.ITS AWFUL. Starts off well then descends into soft fairy-tale fantasy. I can't describe how disappointing the book is. I read it straight through in four hours. It really came apart for me when the Time Warp strange events started and was all downhill from there.What about the unnatural origin of MF and its biosphere? Just mentioned and left. What about the derelict civilisation found by the Taurans? Just mentioned and left. What relevance have the Omnis? Go figure.Joe, how could you do this?
