Product Description

In the year 2043, the Ngumi War rages. Limited nuclear strikes have been used on Atlanta and two enemy cities, but the war goes on, fought by 'soldierboys' -- indestructible war machines operated by remote control by soldiers hundreds of miles away. Julian Class is one of these soldiers, and for him war is truly hell. The psychological strain of being jacked-in to his soldierboy -- and the genocidal results -- are becoming too much to bear. Now he and his companion, Dr Amelia Harding, have made a terrifying scientific discovery, which could literally take the universe back to square one. Except that for Julian, the discovery isn't so much terrifying as tempting.... --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

2.0 out of 5 stars Please find another plot Joe, 14 Sep 2001

By	Mr. A. I. Callowhill "Andy Cal" (Above, Below, Between) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Forever Peace (Sf Masterworks) (Paperback)

Although this is not a badly written book, if you have read a lot of Mr Haldeman's work, as I have, there are more than one or two recurring ideas in this novel. In particular, the idea of coercing world peace is nearly the same as "Tool of the Trade". So the book is okay but lacks a lot of the author's earlier dynamic ideas from some of the collections of short stories like "Infinite Dreams".

I don't think you can plagiarise your own work but one thing is clear he needs to get some new material.

3.0 out of 5 stars Forever in hope, 5 Feb 2000

By	Mr. M. Hatherell "Mark Hatherell" (Vauxhall, London, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Forever Peace (Sf Masterworks) (Paperback)

An enjoyable read if not outstanding. The story kept me interested from start to finish but some how it was missing something, maybe it was the premise of the story, that you can remove part of human nature and still be human that I disagreed with but something was missing. The characterisation was not completely succesful for me, too many characters seemed flat and unconvincing, it may be that the author tried to cover too much ground too quickly but at best this is a good, workman like book that delivers an intersting but not outstanding read. In a couple of weeks time it will be other books and other characters that I remeber and not this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars High quality, 6 Sep 1999

By A Customer

Joe Haldeman is so very underrated. There is so much good writing in this book I don't know how he does it. He put a lot of work and heart into this and it shows. This is classic sf and best of all it deals with so many real social and technological issues relevant even right now. The characters are real, not the usual stuck up cardboard cutouts you get in sci-fi. There are very few sci-fi authors who are willing to take on and discuss possible solutions to humanities problems (too risky), rather they just fly off into space centuries from now and say science fixed it or the holocaust reset everything, convenient! Joe Haldeman is not avoiding difficult social issues which make a lot of sci-fi seem dorky and pie in the sky. Better still he uses difficult social issues as he bread and butter. However this does not mean that we do not get giant hi tech mechanical killers and the like, Haldeman brings them on big time and they are very convincing.

I was put off by some of the reviews here of Forever Peace and I'm glad I ignored them.
