The Future of War
I read this book, along with its two sequels, over 20 years ago and was greatly impressed by its scholarship. The stories selected all had a pertinent point to make about the future of war for man. This first volume dealt with future war on earth. It included stories such as "The Man in the Gray Weapons Suit (future air combat)," "A Scenario for the Fall of Night (A successful Soviet invasion ...

Gripping and irresistable
The second book in Joe Haldeman's "Worlds" series picks up where the first left off, and is just as enjoyable. I must admit, I read it in one sitting as I couldn't put it down, and it left me thirsty for the third book in the trilogy.

War Stories a Must Have for Haldeman fans
I've been enjoying Haldeman's new work so much that I forgot how focused and powerful his older writing was. While not as polished as the writer he is today, the emotional impact of this book is simply unequaled. It took me back to the first time I read Herbert's Dune, Simmons' Hyperion, Tepper's Grass, etc. The two bookends of War Stories (novels in their own right), War Year and 1968, ...

In The Future You May Send A Mothers' Day Card To Yourself
If you think the abortion debate is out of control now, wait and see what reproductive shockers are on the way. Constance Ash has assembled some of the finest minds in scifi to explore the possibilities of procreation. This collection leaves no method unexplored and no problem well enough alone. Ash delivers a chilling tale of survival of the fittest, willing or not, in "The Leopard's Garden." ...

Why is So Difficult to Attain Peace?
Joe Haldeman (1943) wrote two "Hugo" & "Nebula" awarded novels: "The Forever War" (1975) and the present one "Forever Peace" (1997). This is not a minor achievement. He has produced high quality sci-fi as his "Worlds" trilogy, his also "Hugo" & "Nebula" awarded novella "The Hemingway Hoax" (1990) and a number of excellent short stories. Both novels show Haldeman's war experience, he saw action ...

Brilliant
"The proof of a poem is not that we have never forgotten it, but we knew at sight we would never forget it." Of course Robert Frost said that, and it is true for me of several poems in this collection. I only occasionally read poetry and I very rarely commend a work to others. This is an easy exception. This is very good poetry that I recommend highly (though it is hard to ever guess what ...

What is the Worth of a Man?
In the mid-1970s Joe Haldeman was a comet in the science fiction field. In a very short period of time he became referred to as `the new Heinlein', a writer informed by the influences of the New Wave embodied in J.G. Ballard and Harlan Ellison, yet drawing on the tradition of `hard' science fiction and adventure. His first novel The Forever War won both the Hugo and Nebula Awards for Best Novel ...

Peace May Have a Huge Cost!
Ediciones B has "Nova", a sci-fi collection with many interesting titles & authors in Spanish version. Since 2004 Ediciones B has launched a pocket book collection "Byblos" with no specific genre defined. Fortunately for us, sci-fi buffs, some volumes pertain to this genre, allowing us to access a very inexpensive and high quality product. Joe Haldeman (1943) wrote two "Hugo" & "Nebula" ...

My favorite book
Being a devoted SF fan with a library of hundreds of books, and with an interest ranging from early works of A.E. van Vogt in the 1940s to Gibson and all ranges of the field, I was surprised to read this book by a to me unknown author and find that it was the best one I ever read. The story is suspenseful, fastpaced, and reminds me of a mix between Alistair MacLean and John le Carre set in an SF ...

First Rate Short Story Collection
Joe Haldeman is an excellent short story writer, as he proves in "Dealing in Futures." The book opens with the chilling novella "Seasons," about an outer space anthropological study gone horribly wrong. Another lengthy item is "You Can Never Go Back," which was originally intended to be the middle portion of Haldeman's best novel "The Forever War," and was actually included in later versions of ...

Classic coming of age story
I read this in my late teens and recently went back and re-read it after buying it used through Amazon. It is a science fiction story complete with the Haldeman brothers exacting science (I think I read somewhere that one is a biologist and the other a physicist) but told through the eyes of a `farm boy' type going off to college (in the form of a starship based university). This naïve farm boy ...

A easy and enjoyable SF read--with bonus social commentary
I finally read the classic 1974 sci-fi novel by Joe Haldeman called The Forever War which won both the Hugo and Nebula Awards in 1975 and 1976, respectively. These are pretty significant achievements and it would be difficult for a book to live up to them. This one does. The central premise is about a war between humans and aliens that is occurring way out in space so that even though ...

Great book, even better than Worlds
I loved this book, even better than the first book in the series. It's not often I can say a book moved me, but man, there are part in this book you will never forget. I bought this series after I caught a talk by Stephen King years ago where someone asked to name some of his favorite writers. I wrote a few names down and somehow I only tracked down one: Haldeman. I don't recall if he ...

Worlds Apart from the Average Author
Worlds was one of the first science fiction novels I ever read and it is still one of the best. When I started this book I got through the first 50 pages or so. For various reasons I didn't pick the book up until about six months later. When I finally got back to it, I was able to remember everything I had read before. Haldeman was definitely on top of his game with this one. He took a great ...

A favorite fantasy - done in a reasonably moral way
Ever daydream you can control other peoples minds? Well, this isn't a porn story! (grin) It's a fast paced delightful action thriller. Would make a very entertaining movie.... oh well, sad that it's out of print.

One of the best Haldeman books
Haldeman has a dedicated following for a reason, one of the big reasons is this book. I read Mindbridge after reading Worlds and Worlds Apart. Since then I've read most of Haldman's novels. My favorites are easily, Forever Peace, Forever War, Mindbridge, and Worlds Apart. This is a great place to start if you are new to Haldeman. My only complaint is it's a little short. More like a long ...
