  Classic Sci-Fi Reviews: The Forever War
Haldeman's most striking exploration of cultural alienation, not surprisingly, occurs when Mandella and Marygay choose to return to the army they couldn't wait to leave just months earlier, because they no longer feel Earth has a place for them.
In Mandella, Haldeman creates an excellent character to explore these issues--a reluctant soldier with no prior interest in the military, and one who his own superiors think would be unable to kill a human.
Haldeman creates some very intense battle scenes, and the effects of time dilation introduce interesting uncertainties as the humans and Taurans battle for strategic control of the collapsars.

 The Craft of Science Fiction with Joe Haldeman
Haldeman is most closely associated with hard science fiction, but Jenkins raised the fact that time travel stories have had an historically odd relationship with the genre.
Haldeman recently wrote a piece for the Comparative Media Studies newsletter about the mission of science fiction in a time when science itself is under attack and Jenkins asked that he share that vision.
Haldeman did not think of science fiction this way (despite describing it as a flight simulator earlier in the evening, where ideas could be safely tested and considered).

 Joe Haldeman
Haldeman depicts war as the pathetic slaughter of an enemy incapable of defending itself.
Haldeman writes across many different genres, ranging from supernatural horror to hard science fiction, from psychodrama to broad satire, from spy thrillers to Star Trek novelizations.
Haldeman's writing is full of vivid and detailed descriptions of the process of researching and writing fiction ("The Hemingway Hoax," "Seven and the Stars"), the creation of a painting ("Feedback,") the staging of a play ("Images,") the performance of classical music ("None So Blind") or the improvisation of jazz (Worlds).

 Amazon.com: The Coming (Ace Science Fiction): Books: Joe Haldeman
Joe Haldeman plays tag in The Coming, as the narrative is passed from character to character in a seamless, if ultimately disappointing, tale set in 2054.
Haldeman, whose honors include the Hugo, Nebula, and John W. Campbell awards, puts Gainesville, Florida, and 20 or so characters under the microscope to study a chain of events in the wake of a local astronomy professor receiving a mysterious message that may be from aliens.
Haldeman has focused the story so tightly on one city that all the important events take place off stage and the characters have little to do but react.

 Joe Haldeman Guardian Reviewed by Rick Kleffel
Joe Haldeman is an award-winning science fiction writer, and probably not the first person one would associate with the voice of a rather meek woman from the antebellum South.
Haldeman nails the voice and the scenes unfold like a series of beautifully detailed sepia-tone photographs found flaking in a long-shelved album.
Haldeman has the potential to reach an audience much wider than the usual SF readers in 'Guardian'.

 MIT World » : The Craft of Science Fiction
Haldeman revels in the real world of science, especially at the far edges of research where astonishing discoveries are made.
Haldeman is determined to get both the science and fiction right, and he writes things he’d like to read.
Today, Haldeman views science as under attack: “Religion is out of hand on a lot of different levels, and science fiction is a tool against religion,” he says.

 Science Fiction Weekly Interview
Haldeman: I was always going to be a writer, but I thought it would be poetry, and of course I never expected to make a living from that.
Haldeman: I sold a few stories and decided to try to make a living at it, and thought I'd better not spend time and energy on work that paid in copies of obscure journals.
Haldeman: I suspect it happens every now and then; a wild guess would be one out of 10 people who continue to write for a living.

 Amazon.co.uk: Forever Free: Books: Joe Haldeman   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Haldeman is clearly well aware of this and Forever Free is not simply The Forever War II.
It seems to me that Haldeman is falling in to the trap that many bad authors find themselves in, of expecting the reader to believe their arguments just because all the 'cool' characters do.
Joe Haldeman's third book in his "Forever" series continues the story of "Forever War" - a space war fought under the constraints of light speed and...

 The Forever War, Joe Haldeman - HarperAcademic
As Joe Haldeman forthrightly states in his author's note, "The dates in the book are kind of funny; most people realize we didn't get into any interstellar war in 1996.
Soldiers and civilians alike smoke marijuana joints excessively; amphetamines, referred to as "stimtabs" are used by military personnel in order to stay awake during their long marches; and heroin is openly available for purchase at taverns.
The story of The Forever War is a metaphor for author Joe Haldeman's experiences in the Vietnam War, but as Haldeman proclaims in his author's note, "most young readers don't even see the parallels between The Forever War and the seemingly endless one we were involved in at the time, and that's okay.

 Raven's Reviews: Joe Haldeman
Haldeman is well known as one of the great authors of military Science Fiction- twice the winner of both the Hugo and Nebula for the same novels, as well as several other awards.
The parallels between this story and Vietnam are striking, especially when Haldeman uses futuristic dilemmas to highlight and simplify our current problems.

 Rambles: Joe Haldeman, Camouflage
The first reference he makes to his alien, in the opening sentence of Camouflage, is with the word "monster." However, by then launching into a detailed description of the planet on which this creature evolved, he sets up certain expectations regarding the level of scientific credibility he intends to deliver.
Haldeman's skills as a storyteller did eventually win through and by the mid-point in the book it had captured my full attention.
The key was Haldeman's clever transformation of his monster into a being that doesn't simply mimic human physical features, it becomes more ideally human than many of the people with whom it comes in contact.
