Haldeman's award-winning [b:The Forever War|21611|The Forever War|Joe Haldeman|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167322714s/21611.jpg|423] has long been one of my favorite novels, and in [b:Forever Peace|21618|Forever Peace |Joe Haldeman|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1267317517s/21618.jpg|94590],...
Forever War remains a favorite of mine, but Camouflage won't make my Haldeman short list. Haldeman touches on some interesting ideas - and the book read easily - but the ending was awful. It's as if he simply grew tired of writing the book, and tacked on something simple so he could move on to his n...
One of my top five sci-fi books of all time. Brilliantly plotted and by turns witty, sarcastic, wondrous and cynical, it was one of the first sci-fi books I'd read that "made sense" from a political perspective (hint: it's really about the Vietnam war). I've read it a dozen times since the early 80s...
A collection about the shape taken by tomorrow's wars, though focused more on the individual weapon or solider as opposed to the larger strategic view.Like any anthology it has its high points and low points, and one or two clunkers. A couple of the stories stuck with me, but none more than the piec...
John Scalzi schrieb Krieg der Klone, eine wirklich gelungene Abwandlung von Joe Haldeman's Der ewige Krieg. Scalzis Bücher sind immer ziemlich schnell, haben gute Kampfszenen und sind unglaublich witzig, ohne in Klamauk abzudriften. Als ich vor einiger Zeit las, dass sein neues Buch Redshirts sowa...
I loved this against expectations. The blurbs spurt encomiums such as "best science fiction novel ever." One by Pulitzer Prize winner Junot Diaz calls it "Perhaps the most important war novel written since Vietnam." Such praise made me start the novel in a rather cynical "show me" mood. Given it's r...
This is a collection of 36 stories ranging from 1981 to 2002 and purporting to represent the best shorts in science fiction in those years. A blurb on the back by GRR Martin says that "if a science fiction fan from 1984 chanced to stumble into a time warp and pop up in the here and now, and wanted t...
**Review may contain some minor spoilers**'The Accidental Time Machine' came at a right time in my life. No, I am not having any “pre” mid-life crisis (not yet, at least); it’s just that that for the past dozen or so days, I was experiencing some serious reading withdrawal. I would pick up a book th...
A techno-conspiracy thriller where Immortaility is medically possible, aside from accident or murder but the procedure must be repeated every ten years or so and you must hand over all your worldly goods to the Foundation that monopolises the procedure in order to get it done - additionally, you mus...
