"Dear family and friends:
Joe’s new novel STARBOUND appears today from Ace Books. It's the sequel to MARSBOUND, but stands alone, too. The paperback of MARSBOUND is already out. If your book store doesn't have the books, please ask it to order them. Thanks!
Carmen Dula and her husband have spent six years traveling to a distant solar system that is home to the enigmatic, powerful race known as "The Others," in the hopes of finding enough common purpose between their species to forge a delicate truce.
By the time Carmen and her party return, fifty years have been consumed by relativity-and the Earthlings have not been idle, building a massive flotilla of warships to defend Earth against The Others. But The Others have their own plans.
Please visit Joe's website at home.earthlink.net/~haldeman. You can order books from there, too. Come visit his blog on LiveJournal or SFF.Net." - Gay Haldeman

Joe Haldeman's The Forever War As relevant today as when first released, the award winning military science fiction novel is now available as an ebook. Now is a perfect time for you to reacquaint yourself to a cherished treasure, or introduce a new generation to this classic by buying or gifting a copy to a loved one. A THOUSAND YEAR CONFLICT. ONE SOLDIER LIVES THROUGH IT ALL. CAN HE MAINTAIN HIS HUMANITY? The Forever War chronicles the life of William Mandella, who, due to the time distortion associated with deep space travel, he is present during both the first and the last battle of a thousand year old conflict with the alien Taurans. A masterpiece of not just science fiction, The Forever War illustrates the futility of all wars and their effect on the human soul. The Forever War won all major science fiction awards including the Hugo, Nebula and Locus. Ridley Scott, director of Blade Runner and Alien, is currently adapting this classic for film. This is the author's preferred version and includes a foreword by John Scalzi, author of Old Man's War. "To say that The Forever War is the best science fiction war novel ever written is to damn it with faint praise. It is, for all its techno-extrapolative brilliance, as fine and woundingly genuine a war story as any I've read." -- William Gibson, author of Neuromancer and Spook Country "If there was a Fort Knox for the science fiction writers who really matter, we'd have to lock Haldeman up and throw away the key." -- Stephen King "In a literature of ideas, The Forever War is a titan: a book filled with mind-bending ideas about relativistic time distortion and world-shaking ideas about the futility of war. In today's world, where we think declaring war on abstract nouns like terror is a winning strategy, we need The Forever War." -- Cory Doctrow "The Forever War is not just a great science fiction novel, it's a great Vietnam war novel--and a great war novel, without qualification--that is also science fiction. A classic to grace either genre." -- Iain Banks "The Forever War is brilliant--one of the most influential war novels of our time. That it happens to be set in the future only broadens and enhances its message." -- Greg Bear "It's a science-fiction epic, a bit of The Odyssey by way of Blade Runner, built upon a brilliant, disorienting premise." -- Ridley Scott, director of Blade Runner and Alien You can purchase the ebook at all major online outlets or directly through Ridan Publication's online store.
