WAR William Mandela is a reluctant hero, drafter to fight in a distant interstellar war against unknowable and unconquerable aliens. But his greatest test will be returning to Earth. A few months of his tour of duty equate to centuries on his homeworld, during which he becomes increasingly isolated from the world he has been fighting to protect FREE Mandela returns home for the last time - to find humanity has evolved into a group conciousness which excludes him. Alone, alieneated and missing the certainties of combat, he and his fellow verterans search for an escape - and finally look towards space. PEACE A war is raging, fought by indestructible machines operated remotely by soldiers miles away - and for soldiers like Julian Class, war is truly hell. So when he anc his companion, Dr Amelia Harding, uncover something which could take the universe back to square one, the prospect isn't so much terrifying, as terrifyingly tempting . . .

Joe Haldeman
Amerikansk forfatter som er en af SF's allerbedste navne. Haldeman skrev allerede I 1969 sin første SF novelle og I 1974 udkom hans bog "The Forever War", som blev hans store gennembrud og som han fik både en Hugo og en Nebula for. Haldeman skriver næsten aldrig fortsættelser, så derfor er der først for et par år siden kommet bogen "Forever Peace" , ikke en fortsættelse, men med samme tema, og nu hans seneste bog "Forever Free" som ER en rigtig fortsættelse. Haldeman har blandt andet også skrevet "Worlds" trilogien; "Worlds", "Worlds Apart", og "Worlds Enough and Time".
