Review title: Forever Free of What?
Product review: I can't find a reason that Mr Haldeman would choose to revisit the characters of his classic "The Forever War" except that it must have been easier to use familiar faces than to create new ones. To think that this is the continuation of the saga the author always dreamed of is a scary thought. Forever Free statrts off well enough as it quickly reaquaints us with old friends. Unfortunatly, as the book progresses all hopes for a thrilling and satisfying conclusion goes out the window as the narrative spins beyond the unlikly and into the absurd. If Mr Haldeman wanted to tell this tale, he should have left William Mandella alone and started with a new crop of characters. This is not the fate they deserve.
