About Forever Peace
In a future scarred by endless war, Julian Class is a soldier without ever truly setting foot on the battlefield. Linked by neural interface to a devastating war machine, he fights remotely in the Ngumi War while sharing the fear, pain, and violence of combat through the minds of others. But when Julian and scientist Amelia Harding uncover a discovery with the power to undo existence itself, the question of war becomes terrifyingly small beside the fate of the universe. As political violence, scientific ambition, and human nature collide, Julian is forced to confront not only what people will do to survive—but what they might have to become in order to stop killing one another. Thoughtful, unsettling, and deeply human, Forever Peace is a landmark work of military science fiction from Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author Joe Haldeman: a tense, philosophical story about technology, empathy, and the possibility of peace in a world built for war.
