The Forever War

Space War is Hell....Especially for Private William Mandella--drafted into the army by the Elite Conscription Act of 1996--who was thrust into a brutal interstellar conflict that raged millions of light years from Earth.

But battling a savage alien enemy was not the hard part.

Nor was fighting alongside a promiscuous co-ed cadre of civilization's brightest and toughest young people (who, by the way, considered their veteran commander a very lethal social misfit).As the enemy was pushed farther away, time-dilation became a growing problem.

Now Major Mandella found that he was in the army for about two years...

or three thousand.

It all depended on where you were keeping time.
