Not Free SF Reader
A very solid, if mostly unspectacular collection of stories from the seventies.The award winning Tricentennial is certainly the best.

Not quite making it to a 3.50 average, the old half point off.So, a good book overall

(For the non-seppos among us, a Mason jar is apparently one with a metal lid for jam making, according to the spousal unit.)

Haldeman's First Short Story Collection
"Infinite Dreams" is Joe Haldeman's first short story collection ("Dealing in Futres" is the second), and while I'd give the nod to "Futures" in terms of more consistent quality, "Dreams" is a decent collection in its own right.Haldeman knows how to spin a good tale, much like Stephen King with his short stories.Haldeman's usually come from a science fiction angle, and he's one of that genre's more grounded authors, including here a war analogy story based upon his own experiences in Vietnam ("A Mind of His Own").

Some of the other better stories in this collection include "The Mazel Tov Revolution," an example of Jewish science fiction; "All the Universe in a Mason Jar" a humorous story about aliens and moonshine; "26 Days, On Earth," a fine coming of age story; and "Summer's Lease," a poiniant philosophical story.

Overall, any lover of science fiction should love this collection.

Another good short-story collection
Of the three collections by Haldeman that I've read, I'd have to put this after None So Blind, but before Dealing In Futures, even though I gave them all 4's.It contains a good number of stories, and as always, the firstentry is excellent.Two of the reasons I love Haldeman's work are evidenthere - his descriptive ability, and the fact that his stories don't alwaysend on an upbeat note.One problem with this collection in general,however: Haldeman is a combat veteran and has a graduate degree inphysics... almost every story's main character has some advancedmath/physics aptitude, is a vet, or both.I can understand puttingyourself into your work, but this is too self-indulgent.If Haldemanweren't such a good writer, I would have tired of this very quickly.

*Unfortunately, you'll have to haunt the used bookstores for this one. ... Read more

The Future of War
I read this book, along with its two sequels, over 20 years ago and was greatly impressed by its scholarship.The stories selected all had a pertinent point to make about the future of war for man.This first volume dealt with future war on earth.It included stories such as "The Man in the Gray Weapons Suit (future air combat)," "A Scenario for the Fall of Night (A successful Soviet invasion of the US in the 1990s)" and "The Screwfly Solution (Alien invaders use a unique biological warfare solution to rid Earth of those pesky humans).Well developed and insightful in its day, and still a good read for those who like military science fiction. ...

Will Washington D.C. be drowned in the rising tides and its glory days forgotten, or will its residents rise to the challenge and remake the world in its image? In these stories you'll find as many questions as answers, but if assembled authors agree on anything, it's that we are destined to live in interesting times and more than that... ones that we will have a hand in creating.

Good collection of short stories by some very good writers
The common theme of this collection of short stories is the future of washington. Some of these stories are very good and some very good writers like Kim Stanley Robinson, L. Neil Smith, and Joe Haldeman contributed to this effort.
There is a lot of variety and a lot of imagination in these stories. Something for just about everyone.

Clarification
The story "The Day of the RFIDs," alluded to in the Daniel Miller review as a highlight of the FUTURE WASHINGTON collection, was actually written by Edward M. Lerner.

Not as good as I expected it to be
I was kind of disappointed with this book, honestly--the stories are very hit-or-miss.The best one is by Kim Stanley Robinson, but it's an excerpt from a novel, not written for this collection--probably better to just read the novel.Another highlight is by Cory Doctorow, exploring the use of RFID tags and the Dept. of Homeland Security, although I felt like going up to him and whispering "Your ideology is showing".As for the others, some of them are amusing (particularly one near the end in which Democrats and Republicans have devolved into warring tribes--it reads like it was co-written by David Broder and Hunter S. Thompson), but only a few make a serious attempt at exploring an interesting future.More common are relatively shallow attempts at parody, such as one story in which Indiana real estate agents plant a nuclear bomb in DC and exploit the chaos to move the capital to Fort Wayne.Overall, the book doesn't have enough worthwhile material to make it worth buying.Check it out of a library for a few of the stories, but don't waste your time or your cash.

Is there a future for Washington DC ?
Future Washington contains 16 stories from a variety of authors most usually not found in anthologies.The stories posit many different futures for the DC but most are dark and distopian in one way or another.

"Primate in the Forest" by Kim Stanley Robinson, "Hothouse" by Thomas Harlan, "Civil Disobedience" by Joe Haldeman, all have the area suffering from one degree of global warming or another as background.

"Ignition" by Jack McDevitt gives us an idea of what can happen with fundamental religion take over. Paranoia takes over a computer geek in Edward M. Lerner's "The Day of the RFIDs" but is he really that paranoid?

Jane Lindskold in "Tgers in the Capitol" has the original designer of the capitol area who is not all that happy with what was done with his designs. "Hallowe'en Party" by Nancy Jane Moore is basically directions and instructions for a future party in the DC area (the directions are only slightly off from those you'd get if you lived in this security conscious area now).

"Agenda" by Travis Taylor, "A Well-Dressed Fear" by B.A. Chepaities, "The Lone and Level Sands" by L. Neil Smith, "Hail to the Chief" by Allen M. Steele, and "The Empire of the Willing" by Sean McMullen, all deal with politics and intrigue on one level or another.

"Mr. Zmith Goes to Washington" by Steven Sawicki has my favorite aliens (from sfrevu.com's Damned Aliens Column) drop in for a Senate Hearing. "Indiana Wants Me" by Brenda W. Clough gives a look at what could happen to the DC area if Congress moved elsewhere. "Human Readable" by Cory Doctorow deals with the concept of who has access to IT and will it be economic status blind."Shopping at the Mall" by James Alan Gardner give us a view of what would happen if Americans just disappeared one day.

All in all, there are stories to make you laugh out loud, shake your head in frustration, dispair, and agreement.Those that make you think maybe you should pay just a bit more attention to what are leaders are doing FOR/TO us in DC.Every story is strong with character, place, and plot.It's a good buy. ...

Chapters: The Forever War, Forever Peace, the Hemingway Hoax, Forever Free, the Accidental Time Machine, Camouflage, Planet of Judgment, World Without End, Tool of the Trade. Source: Wikipedia. Free updates online. Not illustrated. Excerpt: The Forever War (1974) is a science fiction novel by American author Joe Haldeman, telling the contemplative story of soldiers fighting an interstellar war between humanity and the enigmatic Tauran species. The pithy, insightful explorations of the inhumanity of war and of bureaucracy, and of the psychological effects resulting from time dilation space travel (a soldier returns home after centuries away), won it the Nebula Award in 1975, and the Hugo and the Locus awards in 1976. Moreover, Forever Free (1999) and Forever Peace (1997) are, respectively, direct and thematic sequel novels; the latter also thematically related to the novella A Separate War (1998), occurring simultaneously to the latter portion of The Forever War. Informally, the novels compose The Forever War series; the novel also inspired a comic book and a board game. William Mandella is a university student conscripted for an elite task force in the United Nations Exploratory Force being assembled for a war against the Taurans, an alien species discovered when they suddenly attacked human colonists' ships. They are sent out for reconnaissance and revenge. The elite recruits have IQs of 150 and above, are highly educated, healthy and fit. Training is gruelling first on Earth, in Missouri, and later on Charon (not Pluto's moon, which had not yet been discovered at the time of the novel's writing, but a hypothetical planet beyond Pluto's orbit), which results in a number of casualties mainly due to accidents in hostile environments but also due to the use of ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=309081 ...

Great introduction to some talented authors
While the quality of writing this working isn't always spectacular - this is, after all, the very first works of most of these authors - this collection is remarkable for three reasons.First, the choice of authors - Greg Bear, Ben Bova, William Gibson, Joe Haldeman, China Mieville, Charles Stross, etc - is a hit list of Sci Fi Authors That You Simply Must Read, and their first works are indicative of their huge talent.Second, each story is followed by an interview with its author, who wax nostalgic on their first published story, their experience in print publication, advise to new authors, etc.Finally, this book is published by the remarkable Paizo Publishing, a group of terrifically talented people working out of Washington State who have set the bar in terms of quality role playing game publishing.

Mostly pointless
Before They were Giants is an anthology without a theme, a collection of the "first published" works of a wide range of living SF writers.There are 15 short stories in about 200 pages, which includes a brief questionnaire with answers by each author (itself generally two or three pages long).As a result, there is a real grab-bag of things here, with "sci-fi" being pretty widely interpreted and the authors involved ranging from Piers Anthony to China Mieville.

As a result, by operation of the simple law of averages, there are bound to be a few things here you like.The bad news is, its probable there will be quite a bit more you either dislike or are indifferent to.Its also billed as a primer for aspiring writers - which it may very be of some use as, I have no idea - but as a result it also straddles into teachiness in places at the expense of fun.Throw in the fact that this is, by definition, the rawest works of the authors involved, and the book becomes of more use as a curiosity striving for "importance" than a book trying to be "fun".

Planet of Judgment
Planet of Judgment by Joe Haldeman (1977)

Most series novels, such as those about Star Trek, Star Wars, or other licensed properties, are by either relatively mediocre talents, by young writers still trying to break in, or sometimes by established writers needing a paycheck, who often do a hack job on the book.This is a book by an established writer that does a fine job of presenting a good science fiction story and handles the characters well, something of rarity.When Haldeman wrote this book he had already won a Hugo and a Nebula, the biggest prizes for science fiction writers.So, possibly he was a fan of the series wanting to produce a quality book about it.

"Planet of Judgment" makes a fine story, but it is more of a general science fiction story than necessarily a Star Trek story.Any ship and crew could have been made up and placed into the story, rather than Kirk, Spock and company.Still, the story succeeds on a number of levels.Haldeman even slips in a character in homage to Trek writer James Blish, naming his elder scientist James Atheling, using Blish's pen name for work in literary criticism.

As the story goes, the Enterprise detects an odd object, a rogue planet apparently wandering through the galaxy, orbited by a black hole, but one which radiates energy.This violates several laws of physics, so further investigation is warranted.When a shuttlecraft bearing Kirk and several scientists and security men reaches the planet, it immediately ceases working, as does much of the groups' equipment, including tricorders.A few hours later, Spock leads another group of shuttlecraft down, and meets the same fate.With the transporters unable to operate, the planet-bound crew must find a way off a world with some dangerous flora and fauna, before the crew is all dead.

Soon, the planet's dominant inhabitants show themselves as mentally capable humanoids, who are troubled by the presence of the Enterprise crew, but perhaps more troubled by the advance of a belligerent race, decades away but on their way nonetheless.The Arivne must use Kirk and Spock to help them turn back the alien invasion force.

The story moves in one direction, then about halfway through begins to move in another quite different direction.Haldeman sets up some interesting looks at different species, and how they might interact with humans.But while the characters of the Enterprise crew are not compromised for the story, this could just as easily be a generic s-f story with any other crew.Haldeman holds degrees in both English and astronomy, and his science background helps him here as it does in other novels.Still, this does not prevent bad science, and using the Arivne's mental powers to explain away the odd phenomena Haldeman sets up is somewhat lazy writing.It is no worse than the typical s-f, however.

It's a good science fiction book, and I would recommend that you read it if you are interested in the genre.It's not important to the Star Trek universe, however, and the book should not be viewed as a must-have.

Forever War this isn't!
"Forever War" is truly a masterpiece.This is not "Forever War."It is not even up there with "World Without End," another Haldeman Trek novel.The failings of this book are several.What at first seems like a neat adventure story - Kirk and the gang weaponless and stranded on a planet with large, canivorous beasts - becomes instead yet another occassion when a "superior" race feels the need to test humans (this time, fortunately, without Abraham Lincoln).Ho, hum.

Award winning author takes on Star Trek.
One of the first Star Trek novels not based on an episode.Refreshing in its 1970's viewpoint. ... Read more

A great read and a fine work of imagination and combat.
The theme of this book might be "You Can't Go Home Again."The protagonist, William Mandella, is caught up in an interstellar war--he's been drafted pursuant to the "Elite Conscription Act" for having a high IQ and military physique.

The book tracks Mandella's battles with Earth's enemy: the Taurans.After each battle he returns to Earth, to find that although only a year or so has passed for him, due to the effects of relativity and interstellar travel, Earth has changed hugely, in imaginative and depressing ways.Soon Mandella has no home other than the Army, which is no bargain either.

No doubt it is Haldeman's experience as a Vietnam veteran that gives this book a hard-to-describe plausibility and realism.Despite being wildly speculative, this novel (which is really a series of interconnected short stories) has a gritty authentic feel that won it the Hugo and Nebula Awards.

This novel constitutes in my opinion the best military science fiction story up to this time.It merits the overused label of "classic."

Unfortunately, nothing Haldeman has written since is remotely as good as this novel.

Outstanding commentary on war, set in the future
Joe Haldeman tracks the main character (William Mandella) through his military career in this Hugo award winning novel.Originally published in multiple parts, it is now combined into a single volume that works well asa unit.

In the novel, Earth is at war with an alien species they havenever even seen.Because of vast distances and near-light speeds needed totake the war to enemy territories, each battle sees Earth age decades orcenturies while the soldiers age only a few months or years.As Mandellarises from private to major, Earth changes, the war changes, and even theenemy changes as Haldeman gradually transforms the story from a war novelinto a strong statement about what war really is.This is perhaps myfavorite modern sci-fi novel and is worth re-reading every few years. ...
