Tue, 15 Jul 2008 00:09:00 GMT

In Joe Haldeman and Martin Harry Greenberg’s new anthology, Future Weapons of War, they include a story by Kristine Kathryn Rusch about a reporter in some future war visiting a refugee camp from which children are being sent out as suicide bombers. In it, the reporter muses: The job is strange. It cannot be work because you cannot leave at the end of the day. It becomes part of you and... [continued...

'This Guy Goes to the Doctor ...' (Workbench)

Thu, 26 Jun 2008 14:27:27 GMT

I'm not a joke person, but I liked this one passed along by the science fiction novelist Joe Haldeman: This guy goes to the doctor to get his first prostate exam. The doc puts on his glove and sticks his fingers in to take a look. After awhile he says, "Son, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is you don't have prostate cancer!" The guy says "So whats the bad news?" Doc tells...

The OC is hosting a discussion of Joe Haldeman's Nebula-winning SF masterpiece . Which status I, frankly, have never been able to figure out: As I've said many times before, I read omnivorously and constantly. At the moment, along with everything else, I'm re-reading Joe Haldeman's multiple award-winning science fiction novel, The Forever War. Is anyone else interested in discussing this...

OFF THE SHELF (clarkblog)

Mon, 03 Mar 2008 15:53:50 GMT

The Accidental Time Machine -- Joe Haldeman (Bill Crider's Pop Culture Magazine)

Sat, 09 Feb 2008 16:54:00 GMT

I've enjoyed Joe Haldeman's work for many years. I even have a couple of his Attar the Merman books written under some pen name or other. So when a friend recommended this book, I picked it up. Matt Fuller is a grad student at MIT and kind of a loser. He's never going to finish his dissertation, which he realizes isn't much good, anyway. But then he accidentally discovers a time machine. It...

I can think of many situations where male contributions to nursing would be useful. I don't see that believing in baseless superstitions has any virtue at all in modern civilizations, so Haldeman is being too generous in...

The Accidental Time Machine by Joe Haldeman (Strange Horizons Reviews)

Fri, 14 Dec 2007 08:00:00 GMT

"Low-key" describes most of this book. It is very short and easy to read and completely lacks the emotional intensity and drive of The Forever War . Where that book describes a soldier caught up by circumstance and flung into the future despite himself, Matt, while not exactly a boldly going explorer, at least has basic control of his destiny. He chooses which path he will take, even if he makes stupid...
