The Guardian 17 reviews Joe Haldeman
Ace Hardcover, 2002
Very good but very "quiet" reading
+ ODD BUT FRIGHTENINGLY ENJOYABLE!!! + An engaging read, even though it's light on the SF
Written as a memoir, much of this book takes place in 19th Century America. Rosa Coleman was a part of high society in Philadelphia. After witnessing her husband sodomizing Daniel, their young son, she picked him up and fled across uncharted America by train and steamboat. Pinkerton detectives ...

Mindbridge 8 reviews Joe Haldeman
St Martins Pr, 1976
One of the best Haldeman books
+ Quick, enjoyable read + Well-written, exciting book. Not perfect.
Haldeman has a dedicated following for a reason, one of the big reasons is this book. I read Mindbridge after reading Worlds and Worlds Apart. Since then I've read most of Haldman's novels. My favorites are easily, Forever Peace, Forever War, Mindbridge, and Worlds Apart. This is a great place ...

Hemingway Hoax 4 reviews Joe Haldeman
Avon Books (Mm), 1991
If you like alternate Time-lines...
+ Not his best, but worth a read
... You should read this book. John Baird, a Hemmingway scholar in something of a bind, agrees to produce a forgery of a "lost" work of the great master. Since this would radically change his earth's future, a sort of inter-dimensional hitman is dispatched to kill him. Which he does. Sort of. ...

Dealing in Futures 8 reviews Joe Haldeman
Roc, 1993
First Rate Short Story Collection
+ One of the best SF Short story collections I've ever read + You will not put it down.
Joe Haldeman is an excellent short story writer, as he proves in "Dealing in Futures." The book opens with the chilling novella "Seasons," about an outer space anthropological study gone horribly wrong. Another lengthy item is "You Can Never Go Back," which was originally intended to be the ...

+ Not Free SF Reader + Haldeman's First Short Story Collection
Of the three collections by Haldeman that I've read, I'd have to put this after None So Blind, but before Dealing In Futures, even though I gave them all 4's. It contains a good number of stories, and as always, the first entry is excellent. Two of the reasons I love Haldeman's work are evident ...

The Accidental Time Machine 76 reviews Joe Haldeman
Ace Hardcover, 2007
Interest read with weak ending
This is a fine piece of fiction work on the topic of time travel, it touches all the interesting aspects involved, even though the actual travelling is mostly forward.
The author used the forwarding time travel to trace the evolution steps of human society, some of them are interesting. However ...

Tool of the Trade 3 reviews Joe Haldeman
William Morrow & Co, 1987
A favorite fantasy - done in a reasonably moral way
+ Great spy book with a nice sci-fi twist + How to save the world with a trick watch
Ever daydream you can control other peoples minds? Well, this isn't a porn story! (grin) It's a fast paced delightful action thriller. Would make a very entertaining movie.... oh well, sad that it's out of print.
