A team of humans and Martians travel together through space to search for the home world of the mysterious race the Others to convince them not to destroy humanity. The author of the sf classic The Forever War knows how to combine hard sf with genuinely believable characters, both alien and human, in a suspenseful tale laced with Haldeman's sense of humor. VERDICT Haldeman's popularity is owing to the timeliness of subject and his appeal to sf fans of many generations. An important and entertaining addition to most sf collections.
