From Joe Haldeman, the all-time master of military science fiction, comes the new novel set in the universe of his Hugo and Nebula Award-winning classic The Forever War. An epic story about war, peace, and the price of freedom, Forever Free reintroduces readers to William Mandella--who has been living peacefully on the planet called Middle Finger, a refuge for humans who refuse to become part of the group mind known as Man. But after decades of this peace, Mandella and others are tired of living like zoo animals. So they steal a starship--and embark upon a voyage that will forever change their understanding of the universe...and themselves.©1999 Joe Haldeman (P)2016 Recorded Books Adventure Military Science Fiction Fiction Metaphysical & Visionary Genre Fiction Classics Genetic Engineering Fantasy

there's the beginning of a story then an abrupt end completely out of left field as though the author just got bored of writing. They meet God and God says "yeah I did everything, bye"

Awful Ending

Forever War was a sprawling political war epic in the tradition of Robert Heinlein. Forever Free is at once a smaller, personal story that, by the end, seems like a cosmic tale concocted by Aasimov, Clarke and Dick while sitting at a cafe with Serling in the Twilight Zone.

This is still a great book, but do not expect the same tone or tenor as the original. It does make sense considering it was written two decades after the first, but the names felt recycled for exposure. I feel it would have ultimately stood better on its own; as a new narrative. Still recommend a listen.

Love the author, great story, but not what you’d expect.

A Literal Deus ex Machina - interesting premise, but author undermines it through lazy plot devices. A very far cry from the genius of the Forever War.
