The story starts with William Mandela, who is part of the elite brigade of the planet earth. The war against Taurans was tough and that sent him from one galaxy to the other. He learned everything about the sophisticated weapons and the usage of protective shells. He was quick in adapting to the terrains and culture of the very far off outposts. However, with every passing of month in space, many years were passing simultaneously on the planet earth. The question is that where would he go on to call home, if and when The Forever War ends?
The Forever War novel won the prestigious Hugo ad Nebula awards for best science fiction. It shows science fiction fantasy at its very best. It was actually the Vietnam War that inspired Joe Haldeman to write this novel. He himself was a veteran of that war. This novel might just be a bit dated, but seems interesting with its prediction of the collapsar jump technology. The technology got introduced in 1990s.
