About this title

About the Author:

Joe Haldeman is a Vietnam veteran whose classic novels The Forever War and Forever Peace both have the rare honor of winning the Hugo and Nebula Awards. He has served twice as president of the Science Fiction Writers of America and is currently an adjunct professor teaching writing at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

From Booklist:

Ever since his Hugo- and Nebula-winning debut novel, The Forever War (1975), Haldeman has racked up trophies and award nominations almost yearly. His last novel, Camouflage (2004), garnered the James Tiptree Award, and the latest collection of his short fiction, encompassing primarily stories from the late 1990s through 2005, includes three recent prizewinners. Drawing on Haldeman's background as a Vietnam vet, many stories feature military themes or battle-driven plots. "A Separate War" resurrects the heroine of Haldeman's first novel, who discovers that not only doesn't the war last forever, but en route to making peace, humans have become a hive-mind species like their former enemy. In "Giza," a group of genetically altered asteroid miners reacts to the discovery of built-in sterility by sending their asteroid on a collision course with Earth. An introduction about developing "those crazy ideas" and an afterword revealing the inspiration for each story should please Haldeman fans as well as aspiring sf writers. Carl Hays
