Bluesman Mike Lindner Wrote:STARSHIP TROOPERS left them both in the dust. (Naw--THE FOREVER WAR was great.) I'm sure you know this story, lawdawg, but I love telling it. Seems Joe and RAH were both at a WORLDCON, early in Joe's career. And the word was, Heinlein's gonna rip off Joe's head and piss down the hole. Well. Joe was introduced to Heinlein. Who said, "Joe Haldeman! Of course! I think THE FOREVER WAR is the best future war story I've ever read!" And Joe wrote later, "My feet didn't touch the ground for days."

Bluesman Mike Lindner Wrote:Do you think it's =filmable=, Gerald? I just don't see how. The story takes place over a =long= time, and so much of the action takes place in William's head. My second favorite scene: Mandala watches Marygay's ship torch and go away. And ponders, "Should I jump?"
My favorite? If you're a romantic like meself, it's yours too: When Mandala is in the bar with Charlie and gets the letter from Marygay..."We've bought a starship, and we're using it as a time machine..."
