About T.C. McCarthy:
McCarthy perfectly catches the attitudes of veterans among themselves and toward civilianslaymen, betterwhen they get back to the World.David Drake

Compelling . . . Recalling the work of Remarque, Willi Heinrich, and especially Michael Herr, McCarthy's delirious narrative avoids clicheand raises intriguing questions about what it means to be human. Publishers Weekly(starred review) onGermline

It's not just good . . . it's the mil-sf book I wish I could send back in time to beat outForever Warfor a Hugo. I never would have guessed McCarthy was an analyst . . . Iwas sure he'd been on the pointy end for a long time. Ernest Lilley,SF Revu

The highly detailed, brutal depiction of futuristic warfare brilliantly complements the intimate narrative, which examines the insanity of war and those personally affected by it. Breathtaking and heartrending, this is the future of military science fiction. Publishers Weekly(starred review)

A well written novel that makes you consider the costs of war in very personal terms.SF Signal
