The first line of this 1974 sf war story still grabs hard: The Forever War, winner of both Hugo and Nebula awards, is a fine choice to launch Millennium's "SF Masterworks" series of classic reissues.

About this product
Product Information
Private William Mandella is a reluctant hero, drafted into an elite military unit to fight in a distant interstellar war against an unknowable and unconquerable alien enemy. Mandella will perform his duties and, as he survives, rise through the ranks, but his greatest test will come when he returns to Earth. Because of the effects of relativity, every time he comes home after a few months' tour of duty, centuries have gone by on Earth, making him and his fellows ever more isolated from the world for whose future they are fighting.Product Identifiers

If books had a director's cut this would be it
The Forever War was written by a Vietnam war veteran, and is often described as a reply to Starship Troopers. It follows the story of a conscripted soldier from his first days of training until he's released from service after a number of battles. The effects of time dilation due to travelling close to the speed of light gives the book it's title. This is the first complete edition of The Forever Wars. For some reason a chunk of the story was missing when the book was first published, this book has the missing chapter. I would definitely recommend this book to any fan of classic sci-fi as well as anyone wanting to explore ideas about the changing society in the post Vietnam US when this book was written.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
