Not as good as Forever War, but good,
By A Customer
This review is from: Forever Peace (Mass Market Paperback)
The main character is a soldier in the not so distant future. The world is primarily split between the developed countries and the have-nots. A perpetual state of low-intensity warfare, terrorist attacks and punitive raids rage between the developed countries and the 3rd world (sound familiar?). The primary weapon used by the rich nations are nearly indestructable robots controlled remotely by teams of soldiers jacked into cooperative networks. This is not a sequel to 'Forever War'. The two novels are set in completely different universes. Violent conflict with the 'other' and the intense fellowship of soldiers fighting together are two of the themes both books share. As in 'Forever War', peace can only come in 'Forever Peace' when the Human Race cease to be Human. If you want to read a good SciFi novel read 'Forever Peace'. If you want to read a great and classic SciFi novel read 'Forever War'.

Dissapointing 2,
By JEO (Bogota, D.C. Colombia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Forever Peace (Mass Market Paperback)
I have never read Haldeman before. The only thing I knew he is considered a good writer, so I decided to read a sf novel from a good author. However, I wonder why this book won the Nebula Award. Weren't there better books ?Don't misunderstand me. Forever peace is well written and interisting. The first part of the book is good and promising, but after some chapters the story got lost in a silly love affair, too many characters and an unbeleivable peace proposal. It must be note Haldeman's knowledge of the south frontier of RIO GRANDE. I think Haldeman made a good description given his origin. There are better SF books.

excellent sf good story,

This review is from: Forever Peace (Mass Market Paperback)
i remembered reading a book called "all my sins remembered" (AMSR) as a boy of 11 or 12. at that age i was pretty much into SF what with star_wars (later to be retitled 'episode IV a new hope'), 2001 a space Odessey Battlestar Galactica on TV, Star Trek - original series, close encounters of the 3rd kind. AMSR struck something like a bell in me, it was to me a different sort of SF, very well remembered sort of SF.getting back to 'Forever Peace'. fast forward to some 20 years on i read it after 'Forever War' which i first came across on a dark horse comic publication. this was a long time ago - about 4 years ago. so what business do i have writing a review about it now? i can talk about the impression FP had on me just like AMSR did. like drinking good hot coffee. the message is often the same: the numbing senselessness of war on the very immediate personnal level. fighters fought because they had to. call it fate or karma. there is often no right or wrong but there are the fortunate and the unfortunate, the quick and the dead, the smart and the stupid, and caught in between the rough stuffs and the really rough stuffs is love, um, isn't it like in the office this morning? maybe not and well, i'm not a soldier but i don't have to be one to appreciate books on the subject or know what the writer is saying.
