The Forever War series[edit]

The Forever Peace series[edit]

  • "Forever Bound" (2010, short story; appears in the anthology Warriors) (a prequel to Forever Peace, it tells the story of Julian Class being drafted and trained as a soldierboy while falling in love with Carolyn)

Publication[edit]

Sections of The Forever War were originally published in Analog Magazine as four novellas: "Hero", "We Are Very Happy Here", "This Best of All Possible Worlds", and "End Game". "You Can Never Go Back" was published in Amazing Stories and eventually became part of the paperback version of the novel.[4]
