5.0 out of 5 stars The Eternity Brigade, July 1, 2000

This review is from: Eternity Brigade (Mass Market Paperback)

The first book I ever read, that I went cover to cover with out putting down. A book well ahead of it's time in both it's ideas of future warfare, and our society of the future. A well thought out storyline that take us from a certainly plauable near-future. To a far distant one, that remains fresh and insightful today as it did when first published. A must for all true sci-fi fans.

Get ready to be sucked in. If you've never read a book from start to finish in one sitting...prepare yourself. Wildly imaginative, the story will sweep you up and hurtle you headlong into another universe. The gripping plot and well written characters drive this story from our near future to a time thousands of years from now. Goldin flings us wildly into an inconceivable far-future world. Yet, somehow the story maintains a firm grasp on the realm of the possible. Buy this book and keep it. You'll be reading it again in a year or two. I guarantee it.

I read this book when I was very young, and checked it out of the library every year after that. Recently when I moved to Los Angeles, I searched high and low and eventually came across a mint-condition book.

Re-reading the book is always an experience. The experiences Hawk goes through, the people he meets, and the sight of seeing his first clone, strike a powerful chord in today's society. Long before the cloning of the sheep, this book was indeed well ahead of its time.
