That it happens to be set in the future only broadens and enhances its message.” - Greg Bear“The Forever War is not just a great science fiction novel, it’s a great Vietnam war novel—and a great war novel, without qualification—that is also science fiction. A classic to grace either genre.” — Iain BanksNOVELS IN THE FOREVER SERIESThe Forever WarForever PeaceForever FreeJOE HALDEMAN’S LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS2010 Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master Award for Lifetime Achievement 2009 Robert A.
