Book 2 of the Forever War Series.This book follows William and his partner Marygay- a fellow soldier who survived the war with him - as they adjust to post-war life on the Middle Finger, a planet set aside for humans that are not Man (genetic group-mind clones) as a reservoir of DNA in case of problems. Sick of being treated as dysfunctional curios, William and Marygay decide to use the time-dilating effects of space travel to take a ten-year journey that will return them 40,000 years in the future.
This one was not quite as good as the first Forever War book, but it does show more human development. The end seemed a little bit...contrived...to me, because it fits awfully neatly without actually explaining much, but it was still well worth the read.
