"A well-written and worthy sequel to one of SF's enduring classics" -the Hugo and Nebula Award winner The Forever War -now with a bonus story ( Publishers Weekly ).
Ranked at the top of virtually every list of the greatest military science fiction adventures ever written is Joe Haldeman's Hugo and Nebula Award-winning classic, The Forever War, now celebrating its 50th anniversary. In Forever Free, the Science Fiction Writers of America Grand Master and author of the acclaimed Worlds series returns to that same volatile universe where human soldiers once engaged the alien Taurans in never-ending battle.
While loyal soldier William Mandella was fighting for the survival of the human race in a distant galaxy, thousands of years were passing on his home planet, Earth. Then, with the end of the hostilities came the shocking realization that humanity had evolved into something he did not recognize.Offered the choice of retaining his individuality or becoming part of the genetically modified shared Human hive-mind, Mandella chose exile, joining other veterans of the Forever War seeking a new life on a wasteland world they called Middle Finger.
Making a home for themselves in this half-frozen hell, Mandella and his life partner, Marygay, have survived into middle age, raising a son and a daughter in the process. Now, the dark truth about the colonists' ultimate role in the continuation of the Human group mind will force Mandella and Marygay to take desperate action as they hijack an interstellar vessel and set off on a frantic escape across space and time.But what awaits them upon their return is a mystery far beyond all human-or Human-comprehension ...
InForever Free, Joe Haldeman's stunning vision of humankind's far future reaches its enthralling conclusion in a masterwork of speculation from the mind and heart of one of the undisputed champions of hard science fiction.
And in the bonus story included in this volume, "A Separate War," Marygay, reassigned and separated from her lover, Mandella, continues fighting in military engagements across the stars-all the while planning how she and Mandella can reunite despite the time and space between them.
