The Forever War: The science fiction classic and thought-provoking critique of war
Joe Haldeman
S.F. Masterworks, Fiction, Science fiction
One of the absolute must-have top ten SF books of all time with an awesome new cover treatment.
Private William Mandella is a reluctant hero in an interstellar war against an unknowable and unconquerable alien enemy.
But his greatest test will be when he returns home.
Relativity means that for every few months' tour of duty centuries have passed on Earth, isolating the combatants ever more from the world for whose future they are fighting.
