The Forever War: Forever War Book 1 Joe Haldeman pdf download -

Private William Mandella is a reluctant hero in an interstellar war against an unknowable and unconquerable alien enemy. But his greatest test will be when he returns home. Relativity means that for every few months' tour of duty centuries have passed on Earth, isolating the combatants ever more from the world for whose future they are fighting.

In the 1970s Joe Haldeman approached more than a dozen different publishers before he finally found one interested in The Forever War. The book went on to win both the Hugo and Nebula Awards, although a large chunk of the story had been cut out before it saw publication. Now Haldeman and Avon Books have released the definitive version of The Forever War, published for the first time as Haldeman originally intended. The book tells the timeless story of war, in this case a conflict between humanity and the alien Taurans. Humans first bumped heads with the Taurans when we began using collapsars to travel the stars. Although the collapsars provide nearly instantaneous travel across vast distances, the relativistic speeds associated with the process means that time passes slower for those aboard ship. For William Mandella, a physics student drafted as a soldier, that means more than 27 years will have passed between his first encounter with the Taurans and his homecoming, though he himself will have aged only a year. When Mandella finds that he can't adjust to Earth after being gone so long from home, he reenlists, only to find himself shuttled endlessly from battle to battle as the centuries pass. --Craig E. Engler

EnglerFrom AudioFileWilliam Mandela is a survivor of an alien war that has gone on for hundreds of years. Time-travel paradoxes have turned the young soldier into the oldest man alive, a man who no longer fits in an armed and regulated Earth society. He barely feels comfortable in an army in which he is one of the few heterosexuals left and harsh, alien environments are liable to kill you, even if the aliens don't. George Wilson gives a matter-of-fact reading to a story filled with spectacular action scenes interspersed with the endless boredom of deep space. First published in the 1970s, FOREVER WAR still seems all too possible. M.C. © AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

2 internautes sur 2 ont trouvé ce commentaire utile.One of a kind - Superbe ouvrage de SFPar DeVliNUn livre superbement pensé à lire en VO.Écriture claire et agréable, sans détours. Des concepts de SF précis et compréhensibles (dilatation temporelle)qui produisent une métaphore filée sur la vie d'un vétéran du Vietnam.Critique antimilitariste sans concession ni facilité, héros attachant et humain, tout y est.On peut à juste titre se demander pourquoi le livre n'a pas été adapté en film après le graphic novel...A masterpiece and a one_of-a-kind SciFi work. A too-human hero you can root for right from the beginning on to the end. Filled with despair on the cruelty of our humanity yet a striking commentary on war, especially when one knows the author's background as a Vietnam veteran. The scientific concepts are still solid long after its first release, it's quite an easy read without being oversimplified.The only thing I keep asking myself: why oh why hasn't there been any movie adaptation?
