This review is from: Eternity Brigade (Paperback)

I first read this book when it was published back in the early 1980's and it is easily found in 2nd hand shops all over the country.
Along with Joe Haldeman's THE FOREVER WAR, this is the best depiction of disenfranchised victims of the corporate-imperial combine ever depicted in the science fiction genre. This book is really much more layered and complex than the lurid cover illustration of the old paperback edition from the first printing in 1980 would seem to suggest.
