Book Description
================
Julian Class is a full-time professor and part-time combat veteran who
spends
a third of each month virtually wired to a robotic "soldierboy." The
soldierboys, along with flyboys and other advanced constructs, allow
the U.S.
to wage a remotely controlled war against constant uprisings in the
Third
World. The conflicts are largely driven by the so-called First World
countries' access to nanoforges--devices that can almost instantly
manufacture
any product imaginable, given the proper raw materials--and the Third
World
countries' lack of access to these devices. But even as Julian learns
that the
consensual reality shared by soldierboy operators can lead to universal
peace,
the nanoforges create a way for humanity to utterly destroy itself,
and it
will be a race against time to see which will happen first. Although
Forever
Peace bears a title similar to Joe Haldeman's classic novel The Forever
War,
he says it's not a sequel.
