Book description
Nick Foley is on the run. The KGB and CIA are both after him. Not
suprising, since he's a Soviet sleeper whose cover has been blown, but
Nick has more than state secrets to hide. If he tells a stranger to
drive him a thousand miles, it'll happen; iof he tells a pusher to OD on
his own heroin, the pusher will do it. Nick's strange power is vital to
both sides, and neither of them intend to let him keep it to himself but
neither the CIA nor the KGB can imagine Nick's final, desperate throw of
the dice. Joe Haldeman was born in Oklahoma in 1943 and studied
physics and astronomy before serving as a combat engineer in Vietnam,
where he was severely wounded and won a Purple Heart. The Forever War
was his first SF novel and it won both the Hugo and Nebula awards, a
feat which The Forever Peace repeated. He is also the author of, among
others, Mindbridge, All My Sins Remembered, Worlds, Worlds Apart and
Worlds Enough and Time.
