Graves Winner of the Nebula for Best Short Story 1993 Winner of the World Fantasy Award 1993 by Joe Haldeman I have this persistent sleep disorder that makes life difficult for me, but still I want to keep it. Boy, do I want to keep it. It goes back twenty years, to Vietnam. To Graves. Dead bodies turn from bad to worse real fast in the jungle. You've got a few hours before rigor mortis makes...

Years ago, Joe Haldeman remarked to me that because science-fiction is such a young genre, it's entirely possible to read all the major books of the canon in one's lifetime. Maybe that's why I don't read as much sci-fi (or...

I've enjoyed Joe Haldeman's work for many years. I even have a couple of his Attar the Merman books written under some pen name or other. So when a friend recommended this book, I picked it up. Matt Fuller is a grad student at MIT and kind of a loser. He's never going to finish his dissertation, which he realizes isn't much good, anyway. But then he accidentally discovers a time machine. It...

... from it while they're here. MIT needs religion like a bull needs mammaries. Sincerely, (Professor) Joe Haldeman I have to take exception to that last line, though. I can think of many situations where male contributions to nursing would be useful. I don't see that believing in baseless superstitions has any virtue at all in modern civilizations, so Haldeman is being too generous in...

"Low-key" describes most of this book. It is very short and easy to read and completely lacks the emotional intensity and drive of The Forever War . Where that book describes a soldier caught up by circumstance and flung into the future despite himself, Matt, while not exactly a boldly going explorer, at least has basic control of his destiny. He chooses which path he will take, even if he makes stupid...

In 1974 a book was released by a new author, Joe Haldeman, although it was science fiction its roots were in the Vietnam war. The Forever War was set just in the then future, the 1990’s, and documented the start and continuation of a war in which the educational elite were conscripted to serve as [...]

Writer Joe Haldeman sucked me in many years ago with his spectacular The Forever War, a supposed allegory of the Vietnam War (in which Haldeman participated) where humans have conquered FTL (faster-than-light) travel, but not its relativistic effects (hence, the...
