The Forever War series
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Forever War series is a series of science fiction novels by Joe Haldeman. Not all of them take place in the same future universe.
Forever Peace, while thematically linked to the previous novel The Forever War, is an entirely separate work. Forever Free is a proper sequel to The Forever War, continuing the story of that novel's main characters Mandella and Marygay Potter.
The Forever War and Forever Peace both received the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award for best novel.
In 1988, The Forever War was adapted into a three-part graphic novel with art by Marvano. It was originally published in Belgium and France then released in an American edition in 1991. Translations have appeared in Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, Swedish and Polish.
Sections of The Forever War were originally published in Analog Magazine as four shorter works; "Hero", "We Are Very Happy Here," "This Best of All Possible Worlds," and "End Game". "You Can Never Go Back" was published in Amazing Stories and eventually became part of the paperback version of the novel.
"A Separate War," a 1998 Haldeman short story which follows the adventures Marygay Potter after she and Mandella are separated in the last years of the Forever War, appeared in Far Horizons (edited by Robert Silverberg) and in Haldeman's short-story collection A Separate War and Other Stories (2006). It has also appeared as a graphic novel.
