Mindbridge - Joe Haldeman

Premium Review His fear of Death amuses me. (851 words)
by Brett Bligh - written on 09/10/00 (Very useful, 52 readings)
Rating:

Following on from his multiple award-winning debut novel ‘The Forever War’, Joe Haldeman wrote this, an immensely enjoyable pulp sf classic which looks at both telepathy and humankind’s first contact with another species, one much more advanced than our own. The Levant-Meyer Translation (LMT) is the product of an incredibly fortuitous scientific accident. It allows people to be instantaneously moved vast distances, with the proviso that they must return back to their point of origin after a set time (once again, instantaneously moving the vast distances involved) and that any matter they bring back with them from the place they visited will disappear ...

The Forever War - Joe Haldeman

Premium Review War is Hell. (817 words)
by RussellC - written on 15/09/00 (Very useful, 255 readings)
Rating:

Space Above and Beyond. This book was written back in 1974 and so got there long before either of those two and anyway it tells a far better war story. Joe Haldeman writes inspried by his experiences in Vietnam and the result is a book that really conveys the pain of warfare. My only complaint has to be that this message has become so common in our film and literature that it seemed almost tired. Being fair to the book it gets its message across well, it's just that it isn't a new message to me. As Earth's space travel capabilities improve we gain the ability to travel close to the speed of light and hence cover vast distances in relatively small spaces of ...

The Forever War - Joe Haldeman

Premium Review The Forever War – Joe Haldeman. (422 words)
by Brett Bligh - written on 31/08/00 (Very useful, 251 readings)
Rating:

For a science fiction novel originally written as a reaction to the Vietnam war, by an author who was himself a war veteran, this novel has in fact lost almost none of its relevance today. William Mandella is a Private recruited into the human forces who are currently locked into battle with the mysterious alien Taurans. After undergoing dangerous training, he eventually graduates to active service. Unfortunately, however, the effects of relativity mean that whenever a journey is taken at high speed onboard a space ship centuries pass back on Earth for every few months ship-time. The vessels and bases encountered, whether human or Tauran, may have vastly different levels of ...
