A Separate War (2006)

EW's GRADE
A-

Details Release Date: Aug 01, 2006; Writer: Joe Haldeman; Genres: Fiction, Sci-fi and Fantasy; Publisher: Ace Books

Story collection by the sci-fi vet.

For Fans of
Starship Troopers or Haldeman's classic, The Forever War.

Highlight
''For White Hill,'' a tender romance set in a futuristic artists' community on the burnt husk of a dying Earth.

Lowdown
Whether spinning old characters into new tales (''A Separate War'') or tackling issues like terrorism, homosexuality, and global warming, Haldeman remains a nimble, necessary figure in sci-fi's pantheon.
