A classic! Glad to see it back in print., Oct 16 2001
By S. Reilly - Published on Amazon.com
I first read this book about 15 years ago and ever since I have kept a couple of copies around to share. It is a great story and I haven't read anything like it. The other reviewers discussed the plot pretty well (and to give the story justice would take too long), let me just add that there is a certain pace, style and tone that is Haldeman's finger print and it is in fine form here.Haldeman has a rare gift for making the strangest futures seem very real. There is a reason his books keep getting re-printed year after year, and this book is a prime example.

One of the best Haldeman books, Feb 12 2003
By Mark Coleman - Published on Amazon.com
Haldeman has a dedicated following for a reason, one of the big reasons is this book. I read Mindbridge after reading Worlds and Worlds Apart. Since then I've read most of Haldman's novels. My favorites are easily, Forever Peace, Forever War, Mindbridge, and Worlds Apart. This is a great place to start if you are new to Haldeman. My only complaint is it's a little short. More like a long novella. It does make for a nice quick read on a weekend when you want to relax with a good book.

Imaginative, original page-turner., Oct 3 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mindbridge (Hardcover)
The development of an instantaneous method of temporary star travel brings a unique set of dangers and unforeseen consequences. This is great stuff, an imaginative and captivating page-turner I couldn't put down. It's been a while since I read a book this tense, and I enjoyed it immensely. Taut writing, and Haldeman heightens the interest by presenting a variety of different viewpoints on the story's focus. Buy this one and read it, you won't be disappointed. The only minor drawback I noted was that the characters are not particularly well-developed. But this is a cracking good story, grippingly told.
Listmania!
