Title: The best thing going in military sci-fi
Review: I have read "The Forever War" several times now, and I'm always amazed at just how good it is. On the one hand, it's loaded with action, has great characters and technology and is just a great read. On the other hand, it is a surprisingly thoughtful novel.Haldeman isn't just telling a story; he's examining why the human race seems to be constantly incited to violence, and the impact that violence has on us. His particular concern is the impact on the young soldiers drafted into an impossible conflict. In much the same way that soldiers in Vietnam faced an unknowable enemy with no home front behind them, so to do his characters face the ultimate enigma (an alien race) hundreds of millions of miles from home.Simply put, "The Forever War" is just an outstanding novel. Full of violence, compassion, dread and hope, it will stay with you long after you have completed it. Enjoy!
