Carmen Dula and her husband spent six years travelling to the distant home of the powerful race known as "The Others," in the hopes of forging a truce. But by the time Carmen returns to Earth, fifty years have passed-and the Earthlings have built a flotilla of warships to defend Earth against The Others.
But The Others have more power than anyone could imagine-and they will brook no insolence from the upstart human race.

Starbound
What a bitterly disappointing turd when held up to what "The Forever War" was. It feels like Haldeman set out trying to write a young adult novel with relatively simplistic characters- but somewhere he decided to add copious amounts of sex to keep everyone else from falling asleep. Rather than adding flavor, it only makes things come off more than a little weird. None of these characters have any interesting or driving force of personality. The changes between POV every chapter (at least give me a heading so I know whose head I'm in now?) are disorienting at the least. Unforgivably confusing at worst. Because there are no distinct personalities everyone's perceptions bleed together into an indistinguishable mash of "oh-I-remember-someone-thought-that." The alien personalities seem to exist purely for the sake of comic relief. No realism or fleshing out at all. Everyone on this diplomatic mission is uninspiring. Rather than sending along some of earths best and brightest (whose thoughts might actually be interesting) we instead get a farcical cast of contaminated rejects who don't even have a game plan once they reach the all powerful "others."
