War Stories a Must Have for Haldeman fans
I've been enjoying Haldeman's new work so much that I forgot how focused and powerful his older writing was.While not as polished as the writer he is today, the emotional impact of this book is simply unequaled.It took me back to the first time I read Herbert's Dune, Simmons' Hyperion, Tepper's Grass, etc.

The two bookends of War Stories (novels in their own right), War Year and 1968, are the kinds of books you can't put down, but absolutely need to for sanity's sake.Both are semi-autobiographic in that they are both stories of Viet Nam combat engineer (although they are not Haldeman's specific story).It is a good thing these are separated by several short stories and poems as they are simply too intense to read back-to-back.Even separately, they leave the reader shaken... for all the right reasons.

The middle portion of short stories and poems contain old favorites, sharp interludes, intense horror, fun, sadness... your basic Haldeman buffet.

Before each section, Haldeman gives personal insight into the situations surrounding the writing.All-in-all, a must have for Haldeman fans and readers of war fiction from someone who's been there and lived through it.I think I speak for Haldeman when I say even when you live through it, a piece of you is left behind.This collection helps you remember and cherish those forgotten pieces. ...

More substance needed
I was really disappointed with this book. The beginning made me think it would be interesting, but it was only downhill from there. The plot is thin. It is then fleshed out with sex, violence and gore. Yuck!

Fascinating beginning, weak middle, pitiful ending
A genre-bending fantasy about a plan to forge some lost stories by Ernest Hemingway.This book starts off realistically enough, and stays interesting even after it becomes clear that the plan has attracted the attention of some non-human entities.But then Haldeman digresses into some tawdry sexual maneuvers that seem to be leading the plot in another direction entirely.Then after the protagonist is killed, all focus is lost and the plot just rambles down one incomprehensible blind alley after another.The novel is mercifully brief, but there're no real explanations of any of the major plot points, characters change radically with each new venue, we never do find out exactly who the "Others" are, or what's so special about our protagonist, or even how and why the hoax is so critical in human history.Changing the rules in mid-stride is just weak storytelling, and failing to tie up the ending is like telling a joke and leaving off the punch line.This may be a common enough trend in contemporary fiction-writing (see the work of Haruki Murakami, for example) but this old-school reader doesn't care for it one bit.

The Author Must Be a Big Fan of Ernest
The author took an event in Hemmingway's career and seemed to create a whole "what if" story behind it.Hemmingway supposedly had some early manuscripts stolen from a train.In the book, a University professor is approached by a con man to produce a forgery of what he speculated Hemmingway wrote and try to make it look legit.This involves finding a typewriter similar to the one that Hemmingway used and the same type of paper.

Unfortunately when the professor attempts to do this is throws some balance off in the Universe and he is interrupted by a being who kills him to prevent him from pulling off the forgery.However, the professor is transferred to alternate selves in parallel universes, where he continues the attempt.

The book is pretty silly and seems it was only written because of the author's fascination with Hemmingway. It does have some interesting parts but the silliness made it difficult to give it more than 3 stars.

If you like alternate Time-lines...
... You should read this book. John Baird, a Hemmingway scholar in something of a bind, agrees to produce a forgery of a "lost" work of the great master. Since this would radically change his earth's future, a sort of inter-dimensional hitman is dispatched to kill him. Which he does. Sort of. Instead Baird finds himself in another, just so SLIGHTLY different alternate universe, where everything takes a somewhat different turn - Until everything ends in a rather grim, if not unsatisfying ending. You should do yourself the favor of reading it.

Not his best, but worth a read
While _Hoax_ doesn't have the bite and originality that _Forever_War_ does, it is an interesting premise.Haldeman definitely has a way with characters who are hard to love, and there are several in _Hoax_.If you like his other works, particularly his short stories, you will probably find _The_Hemingway_Hoax_ well worth your time. ...

Dissapointing

This book arrived in my hands with much advance praise and high recommendations. It did not live up to its press. Joe Haldeman, who wished to become a power in the genre of Science-Fiction,wanted to write a book in the style of, and after that famous worthy Robert A. Heinlien. Unfortunately Haldeman had neither the skill nor the gifts that Heinlien did.

This book, The Forever War, like Heinlein's Starship Troopers or Orphanage by Robert Buettner, is set in a fictional future when earth is at war with an unknown alien species. It deals with issues such as conscription, political unrest, and a human race devastated by the effects of an interplanetary war.

In this book soldiers are all conscripted from the intelligentsia, to lead mankind in space war against unknown forces. Our Hero, if we can call him a hero, is Private William Mandella.But in the future, soldiers are psychologically conditioned to kill in a frenzy, and to be dependent upon drugs. Unlike both Buettner's and Heinlien's books that have drugs as a detriment to military life, Haldeman uses drugs for everything from recreation to encouraged addictions.

This book, though the winner of many awards including the Nebula and Hugo, is not worth your time and effort. One of the possible reasons for this is that the book has gone through four different major revisions. It was rejected by eighteen publishers before finally being published in 1974 with some major editing. It was not believed that as a book about the `Vietnam War', the forever war would have a large market. But a publisher took a chance and published it. Then The Forever War went on and won a few awards.

Since then, the author has revised it through two major revisions. The first put a section back in that messed up the timeline of the story, and the second returned it to the original unedited version, known as the definitive edition of the book. It is the only version currently in print.

The writing is poor, and this unedited - so-called restored version of the book - is lackluster at best and downright boring!The story drags at many points and, at other times, so little story is given that it seems to jump from scene to scene without filling you in on how our characters got where they are.

This book in some version may have won the top two science fiction novel of the year awards, but it is really not worth the effort. Read either Heinlien's or Buettner's version of the story. Both are much more satisfying and enjoyable.

At first, I was turned off by all the sexual references, but as I continued (someone told me it was a classic) I soon saw the relevance.Especially at the end.I was surprised how well it fit into the storyline.Good read. ... Read more

Amazon.com Review
Since the 1970s, many of SF's original theme anthologies havebeen filled with flimsy toss-offs by the editor's pals. However, thereare exceptions. In Not of Woman Born (theme: consciousevolution a.k.a. reproductive technology), editor Constance Ash hascollected 13 original stories and one reprint that are strong,well-written, imaginative, highly diverse, and excellent. This is nosurprise when you consider the amazing list of contributors, includingPatricia A. McKillip, Nina Kiriki Hoffman, Jack McDevitt, RobertSilverberg, Debra Doyle and James D.

Rating: overall "A" -- best original anthology I've seen thi
_____________________________________________
Theme anthologies sometimes suffer from too narrow a focus and/or carbon-copy stories. Not this one -- the authors interpreted the theme loosely enough so that I didn't lose interest.Walter Jon Williamstakes a killer look at cybernetic family values in "Daddy'sWorld", and Jack McDevitt delivers the most interesting look atgengineering one's progeny since Greg Egan's wonderfully sly"Eugene,"in "Dead in the Water." McDevitt'smother-to-be is particularly well-drawn. A+ stories both;look for them onthe award ballots next year. "A" stories:Silverberg's 1957"There Was an Old Woman" is an amazingly fresh look at clonedlives, even 40 years on. Nina Kiriki Hoffman takes a sharp look at futureretail clerks in "One Day at Central Convenience Mall." Newauthor Janni Simner cleverly inverts bringing up baby in "RaisingJenny", and Richard Parks takes a close look at cloning's impact onshowbiz in "Doppels." Plus "A-" (= flawed but verygood) stories by Sage Walker, Susan Palwick, Patricia McKillip, Wm. F Wu,Doyle & Macdonald, and Kara Dalkey. Curiously, the only weak story inthe bunch is by the editor. Overall: 2 "A+", 4 "A", 6"A-", 1 "B+", and 1 "B" story.

Thebest original anthology I've seen this year. Highly recommended.

Happy reading--
Peter D. Tillman

Things That Make You Go Hmmmmmm
Mrs. Ash has done it again with her energized portrayal of the future and this time she brought friends. In the time where talk of cloning has made people wonder what if scientists did this... Not of Woman Born has hit thetarget.

In The Future You May Send A Mothers' Day Card To Yourself
If you think the abortion debate is out of control now, wait and see what reproductive shockers are on the way.

Constance Ash has assembled some of the finest minds in scifi to explore the possibilities of procreation. Thiscollection leaves no method unexplored and no problem well enoughalone.

Ash delivers a chilling tale of survival of the fittest, willingor not, in "The Leopard's Garden." Sage Walker keeps the bloodcold with a tale of genetic manipulation and the cycle of life.

But, allis not grim and serious. "One Day At Central Convenience Mall" byNina Kiriki Hoffman takes readers on a tour of the future AND providesplenty of time to shop.

The stories are too numerous and too full tocover in this space. Time for you to apply your own brain to the subject.

And, remember, it's only fiction. For now.

Birth of a mind-bending anthology of sf luminaries
Fasten your seatbelt for a wild ride through the ideas of some of science fiction's best selling authors--thematically published under the concept of alternative conception. Each story challenges the reader with both thesuspension of belief, and the creation of new beliefs in what today mayseem impossible, each bringing a different moral tone and attitude thatstretches your mind, always asking "what if?...."

OK, but reads like someone was making it up as he went along
This is a fairly good scifi novel, but I never would have gotten through it if I wasn't re-discovering the characters at a time when only the films were being made and way before TNG.So it was nice to read it as fanfiction.However, as a scifi novel, it failed to envelop me into an alien world that I could believe, at least while I was reading it.

My standards for hard scifi are pretty high.This is a story about a plant on which things work differently, where normal technology and even the biology of the inhabitants are somehow askew, not acting in the way that they should.It is a pretty good mystery for a while, with some images like the crewmember who disappears and then is found walking towards the enterprise with his eyes gone and smiling, growing a covering of fur and in need of sleep.But when I arrived at the explanation for it all, I was underwhelmed, to put it mildly.It fell back to an old scifi explanation that is no different from magic.

Recommended as fanfiction only.If you want hard scifi, stay away.

Rich and haunting
Savor this one. It's a quick read and a good one. The scifi is a bit silly at first, but the slow revelation of some very creepy elements leaves you with a satisfying net feeling of being spooked and even a little shaken. The best part is the detailed, hard-eyed look at the main characters. Several times we get dreamy, half-awake trips into the main characters' subconscious minds, and it's gut-twisting. There's also plenty of action (old-style, Prime-Directive-be-damned), and hints of humor and unrequited romance. Trust me, this one is special. One of my very favorites.

From Back Cover
NEVER BEFORE...

Had the Enterprise been betrayed by its own technology.Never before had their systems, instruments and weapons failed to respond.And never before had Kirk, Spock, McCoy and the rest of the crew faced a total breakdown of science and sanity... until they stumbled on the mysterious world that couldn't exist...


IS IT IMMORTAL?

It was something like a cross between a huge insect and a centaur.It stood on four massive legs, intricately jointed, covered with shiny black chitin.It egg-shaped body was shiny brown, mottled with green and blue.A thorax rose from the front, covered with black bristles, supporting two arms and a head.The head was triangular, with eyes that looked like two clusters of pale red salmon eggs.The mouth was a small hole, through which a slender black tongue occasionally darted.It was about the size of a large horse.A thick barbed tail, like that of a scorpion, curved under its body.

Little depth
If Tool of the Trade were a newer book, it would be easy to call it a cliche.However, much of what Haldeman wrote in this novel was relatively new.Unfortunately the characters are fairly shallow, as is the plot.The invention of a watch that could be used to force people to one's will is not a terribly fresh idea, even in the 1980s.That the protagonist would use it in the ways he does, does not endear him to the reader.His wife is as eager to manipulate people, perhaps in a less violent manner, but to bend them to their will as much as he does.

The ways in which the two of them use the watch is on one hand naive, and on the other arrogant and sometimes cruel.Their machinations to accomplish their ends are often bumbling and their luck unbelievable.Some of the road blocks feel manipulative meant to make the next scene possible rather than as a natural sequence in the events.This is the first Haldeman novel I have read.I do intend to try a few more in hopes of finding something that has more sophistication, which I suspect is in much of his work.

Great spy book with a nice sci-fi twist
I picked this book up in a used bookstore as I am a fan of Haldeman's Forever books and enjoyed it immensley. The premise is a basic spy story, a KGB spy placed in America and awaiting activation who happens to end up being a sort of double agent with the CIA. Basic spy stuff and while interesting, it is nothing spectacular.

Oh, I forgot to mention this spy in question has invented a device (a watch) that can control people's minds, hypnotize them in a sense. Which mixed in with a spy book makes a great read. If you see this book in a used store or if hopefully it gets reprinted, grab it!

A favorite fantasy - done in a reasonably moral way
Ever daydream you can control other peoples minds?

Well, this isn't a porn story! (grin)

It's a fast paced delightful action thriller.Would make a very entertaining movie.... oh well, sad that it's out of print.

How to save the world with a trick watch
The KGB has planted Nick in the in deep cover as a professor who makes a powerful discovery. The CIA/KGB/FBI and the cast of Friends (OK, not them as well), are after the secret, but he has his own plans to sort out the mess that the world is in. A satisfying book, that works on more than one level. ... Read more

more sociology than plot
Like many trilogies, the Worlds books start off strong but go downhill. The first one was excellent. The second manage to hold my attention. This one was a bit tedious. Most of the book is spent describing life aboard an interstellar starship, including the unique politics, problems and tensions involved with living in a closed and isolated environment. I think Haldeman did a good job imagining and depicting this environment, and it was interesting... for a while. Then I really wanted more of a plot line. There are random catastrophes that occur from time to time, but I don't really consider that a plot. The book began to feel too much like a lesson in sociology and civics. Things got interesting against when the starship reached its destination. 3 stars because on balance I did enjoy the book. But no more than that because there were long stretches where I had to force myself to keep reading.

Space, Tribes, and God
This story rambles a bit more than its prequel "Worlds" did, but it is still an interesting story that moves along at a good clip and leaves one with some disturbing insights into human character.

It is now time for O'Hara and other residents of New New York to move out beyond the Solar System, this in an attempt to mitigate any future potential of war and war's ability to render Homo sap extinct. The main theme is still there, only magnified now across light years: Human cultures keep dividing into tribes, which ultimately come in conflict with each other. Human history has already proved that tribal fanaticism and the desire to prevail often overshadows a more basic instinct, which is to preserve the species. Through a light-years-long journey, Haldeman explores how even rational human beings divide themselves into tribes, first between the residents of New New York and Earth, New New York and other "worlds", New New York and its starship to Epsilon, and then between the passengers and crew of the starship itself. Society has already divided itself into career "tracks", engineering and policy, and these "tracks" are further muddled by multi-spouse family lines, those in and out of suspended animation, an emergent fundamentalist religion, and finally, those who prefer to remain aboard the ship and those who migrate down to the new planet below.

Once planet-side the humans follow an all-too-familiar pattern, which is, attempting to wipe out a threatening species before that species is fully understood. The species turns out to be not only sentient, but omniscient as well, and O'Hara must play the role of Job, brutally tested in order to save her own species from annihilation. The Old-Testament God/Aliens have power over time and space, have wiped out undeserving species in the past, and appear a little bored as they put O'Hara through her trials. In the end, people tighten up a bit, become less aggressive toward each other, and look toward a more sensible sociological future. All of this seems to reinforce the messages of philosophers from Plato to George Washington to Karl Marx: Plato, who believed that the masses could only be governed by a ruling elite, George Washington, who added "so help me God" to the oath of office in hopes of unifying the scattered interests of the nascent United States, and Karl Marx, who called religion the "opiate of the masses" and was partially correct, at least in that observation--which leaves the reader to wonder if human beings can ever remain peacefully unified, given worlds enough and time. ...

A good idea packed into this little Story
This story starts off as a sci-fi tale of reconstructing a man who was almost killed, and turns into a horrific ending. This was a cool little story where the point was technology can be bad. They reconstruct this person with cytogenetic limbs and eyes, and what happens is he starts to feel superhuman, which ends up as a bad thing. This was a fun little story, and I liked it. ...

A quick read, but still engaging
War Year could qualify as a novella rather than an actual novel. It's only about 120 pages, and I finished it in less than 5 hours. It almost reads like a diary, following the path of a combat engineer through his tour in Viet Nam. The writing style is very simple and straightforward, not getting too caught up in details or characterization. You get names for characters, and maybe some insight into a personality trait or two, but it's really just enough for an ID. As a result, you won't get very involved with any of the characters, but they serve to tell a good story. I believe that this was Joe Haldeman's first effort to get his wartime experiences in print, and it reads as such: there are some instances in the story that seem very personal and too real. Certain activities are laid out with an education slant, so you get some good information about what GIs had to do to survive. The ending is quite abrupt and darkly humorous, and contributes even more to the feeling of detachment initiated by the slight characterization. Please note that if you want to really experience Haldeman writing about war, try "1968", a truly exceptional novel.

Simple and unpretentious
What I like best about this book is its modesty. It is not showy in any way, just clean and honest. It does not emphasize the horror or the cynicism, as most other Vietnam novels do. The book is more about camaderie, and it retains a little of the idealism that so many people felt at the time. I have read this book four times or so, and I would recommend it as an introductory novel, not only for its quality, but also for its brevity. The author evidently had second thoughts about this novel, since the text of the paperback edition differs from the hardcover. I am not sure how extensive the changes he made were, however the hardcover's ending is upbeat, the softcover's just the opposite. ... Read more

Uh, never mind the previous review, because the product being sold is a comic in three parts (this being the first part) by Flemish artist Mark Van Oppen (Marvano) based on the book by Haldeman.

The Forever War
This is a great book. Well written with a very interesting plot. He has also written a sequel to this book called Forever Free.

very good book
I read this book in high school because I had to read a book for my class.I loved this book and recommend it to teens and adults alike.Very descriptive, believable, and interesting.I am surprised it hasn't been made into a movie.Awesome book.

Haldeman x2
This is perhaps my favorite Haldeman book.It distills the best talents of both brothers into a very enjoyable piece of Sci-fi.Both are scientist so are spared some of the more difficult to stomach abuse of science we must often endure in this genre.Most importantly the story is well written and pretty hard to put down.

I also suggest trying the classics "Forever War" and "Worlds" by Joe Haldeman along with (the late) Jack Haldeman's brilliant sci-fi/disease/political/thriller/satire "Vector Analysis" a book that's a lot more fun than the title sounds (I once read where Joe Haldeman referred to it as "All The President's Parasites" which I think would have made a much better title).

Still I think if you read nothing else by either, don't miss this one.This is the best of both.

This book rules
It's been almost twenty years since I read this book and it still sticks with me.I finally decided to track it down and read it again.This is more than just a work of fiction, it more than a good sci-fi yard, this is the story of how a farm boy became a man while remaining true to his soul.And because it's fiction and a good sci-fi yarn, he is a genetically engineered giant on a university spaceship.

Yes, this book truly rules.

It's a Hard-to-find classic
You won't find this in most bookstores, or even used SF bookstores, because the people with copies keep them! Seriously, this is a SF classic. If you liked "The Forever War" do yourself a favor and get a copy.

Classic coming of age story
I read this in my late teens and recently went back and re-read it after buying it used through Amazon.It is a science fiction story complete with the Haldeman brothers exacting science (I think I read somewhere that one is a biologist and the other a physicist) but told through the eyes of a `farm boy' type going off to college (in the form of a starship based university).This naïve farm boy happens to exist in the form of a fairly large bio-engineered colonist bred to survive on a harsh backwater planet.His experiences are played out brilliantly as he explores the people and planets of this not to distant future with his fellow students among whom he develops both friends and enemies.

My favorite section is when the school stops on the planet Hell, which rents itself out to other worlds who wish to wage war in a controlled environment.The vision the Haldemans paint of a future earth is brilliant, frightening, and altogether real.

This is a character study similar in style to a book like "Ender's Game" or in some respects "Starship Troopers" though on a smaller scale (no major planet threatening wars here).I think people who enjoyed those books would enjoy this one.It is well worth the extra effort to find a used copy. ...

too bad it's a comic?
As far as comics go, this is one of the better ones.Instead of warning people that this is a comic, it would seem fit to encourage the purchase of this book based on that merit.Here in the states comics are not taken seriously(for good reason).In Europe however, they are thought of no less than the literary masters.This book is only one of 13 books that "Marvano" and Joe Haldeman have worked on together.It retains all of the cinematic elements of the original "Forever War" books with the added artistic mastery of Marevano and Bruno Marchand colors.Like any other NBM release, this book is not to be missed.
