In this Hugo and Nebula Award–winning science fiction classic, a soldier confronts the staggering cost of interstellar war against a relentless alien enemy.
Originally conceived as an MFA thesis at the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, this landmark novel has become a cultural touchstone—earning awards, inspiring a play, a graphic novel, and a forthcoming film—telling the story of soldiers who fight in the wars of the future and return to an Earth that feels completely alien.
William Mandella, a physics student conscripted into the United Nations Exploratory Force, is trained to fight the brutal alien race known as the Taurans. His struggle to survive and maintain his humanity amidst a seemingly endless and absurd war is as harrowing as it is darkly humorous and deeply moving.
Traveling at near-light speeds, Mandella experiences only a few years of combat, while decades pass on Earth. Returning home, he finds a world transformed beyond recognition, leaving him isolated in a place that should feel familiar, yet is profoundly foreign.
