"To say that The
Forever War is the best science fiction war novel ever
written is to damn it with faint praise. It is, for all
its techno-extrapolative brilliance, as fine and
woundingly genuine a war story as any I've read."
-- William Gibson,
author of Neuromancer and Spook Country
"If there was a
Fort Knox for science fiction, We'd have to lock Joe
Haldeman up and throw away the key." --
Stephen
King
"In a literature
of ideas, The Forever War is a titan: a book filled with
mind-bending ideas about relativistic time distortion
and world-shaking ideas about the futility of war. In
today's world, where we think declaring war on abstract
nouns like terror is a winning strategy, we need The
Forever War." --
Cory
Doctrow
"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 Banks
"The Forever War
is brilliant--one of the most influential war novels of
our time. That it happens to be set in the future only
broadens and enhances its message." --
Greg
Bear
"It's a
science-fiction epic, a bit of The Odyssey by way
of Blade Runner, built upon a brilliant, disorienting
premise." -- Ridley Scott, director of movie
