Forever Peace (1997) Signed First Edition Reference

Forever Peace won both the Hugo and Nebula Awards but is not a direct sequel to The Forever War. Published by Ace Books in 1997, it depicts a near-future war fought through remotely operated humanoid machines (“soldierboys”) and explores the possibility of using neural-linking technology to enforce empathy on a global scale.

Signed Copy Market Values

  • Signed first edition, fine/fine: $30–$75

The novel’s exploration of remote warfare proved prescient in the age of drone strikes. A solid Haldeman novel, though its market position is overshadowed by The Forever War.
