As the war rages on Earth's surface, The Jupiter Project -- a massive space experiment in orbit around Jupiter -- threatens to obliterate the universe in an effect similar to the Big Bang. That is, unless physicists Julian Lang and Amelia Harding can dismantle the Jupiter Project and thwart a Christian cult's plans to facilitate the apocalypse. Winner of the 1998 Hugo Award for Best Novel, this is sequel to the multiple award-winning novel, "The Forever War". Publisher's Note: In the year 2043, the Ngumi War rages. Limited nuclear strikes have been used on Atlanta and two enemy cities, but the war goes on, fought by "soldierboys" - indestructible war machines run by remote control by soldiers hundreds of miles away. Julian Class is one of these soldiers, and for him, war is indeed hell. The psychological strain of being jacked-in to his soldierboy - and the genocidal results - are becoming too much to bear. For Julian, it might be worth dying just to stop living. Now he and his lover, Dr. Amelia Harding, have made a terrifying scientific discovery that could literally put the universe back to square one. For Julian, however, the discovery isn't terrifying. It's tempting. Industry reviews: "Like its thematic sibling, 'Forever Peace' is also a book for our betterment. As one of the few Vietnam veterans who has been able to create a mature and reflective oevre out of that savage trauma, Haldeman may be of all sf writers the one best equipped to make his readers glad to be taught about dying and death and the Goya inscapes of war; and about how to end the nightmare. There are narrative kicks and hard sf pleasures in 'Forever Peace', all professionally enacted, but they all point gracefully towards the goal adumbrated by the title: towards the depiction of a world where peace is as inevitable, and as profoundly hard-wired into the human psyche, as war has always been." Washington Post Book World - John Clute (10/26/1997) "...a solid, highly enjoyable thriller." San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - Michael Berry (01/18/1998). Condition: Binding - fine, unread, new.
