Re: Well I couldn't stay away forever now could I? jh Send a noteboard - 09/09/2009 03:26:28 PM
It is by Joe Haldeman but it came out back in the 70s. I have one of the original printings (which sadly has had the cover come loose but it was second hand to start). I wasn't aware that there was a sequel/re-issue although I had heard rumours of a sequel.

It's actual a prequel, I think, called Old Man's War. Wait, am I thinking of the wrong author?
