Ebook About A dystopian future Earth is thrown into turmoil by the imminent arrival of extraterrestrials in this alien-contact novel by the author of The Forever War. With The Coming, multiple Hugo and Nebula Award–winning science fiction Grand Master Joe Haldeman ingeniously combines a troubling dark vision of a dystopian near-future with an alien first-encounter tale as thrilling and thought-provoking as Carl Sagan’s Contact and Steven Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Despite technological advancements designed to alleviate the stress of everyday life, Earth at the midpoint of the twenty-first century is plagued by environmental crisis and manmade catastrophe. Tensions among the nations of Europe bring the threat of World War III closer by the hour as their lands are also ravaged by devastating climatic upheaval, the result of centuries of unchecked ozone depletion and global warming. Meanwhile, in an America whose population has been sedated by DNA-specific drugs and virtual porn, homosexuality and free sexual expression have been outlawed by a repressive federal government led by an inept media-star president. But everything changes on October 1, 2054, when Professor Aurora Bell, an astrophysicist at the University of Florida, picks up a message from deep space: “We’re coming . . .” Ingeniously told from the viewpoints of a diverse cast of characters ranging from scientists, artists, and ordinary citizens to criminals, con men, and politicians, The Coming is a shockingly prescient work of speculative fiction from the multiple award-winning author of The Forever War and the acclaimed Worlds series, taking the alien invasion story to places it has never gone before.Book The Coming Review :
Over the years, I've read a lot of Mr. Haldeman's novels. I've enjoyed nearly all of them, truely thought a few were great literature (Forever War, Mindbridge). When I picked up The Coming, I'd just finished reading Camoflage and thought it was terrific.This was a deeply different tone but not an inauthentic one. Haldeman does write politics sometimes, usually (apparently) as an extension of his wartime experiences.In my opinion, The Coming was a terrific story that got bogged down by its backstory. It had a great setup in the first twenty pages or so and then it was all character for the next couple hundred. Then the alien story took center stage and the setup went unfulfilled. Even the surprise at the end wasn't that much of a surprise. It telegraphed itself fairly early on in the story and, once exposed, the surprise could have used the same depth of backstory granted each of the main characters.It felt like Mr. Haldeman spent time building his people up and then failed to structure an ending that satisfied. Now I've got all these characters in my head and I don't know where any of them wound up...I was a bit disappointed in The Coming but the writing is superb. If there was a sequel tomorrow, I wouldn't wait for paperback but I would hope from more than I got from the first one. I'm a huge fan of "first contact" books, and I like Joe Haldeman's books. I really, really like them. So it was with considerable anticipation that I ordered "The Coming" from Amazon and waited for it to arrive. It did, I read it, and it was a puff pastry.A puff pastry of a book is one you bite into and find there's little there but air. Others have described the story here, so I won't bother you by repeating it. I will say that if you like character development, you'll probably like the book. If you like to see a veiw of the future, you may like this, 'tho much is left unexplained, as Heinlein would have done, but less well.And if you're looking for a conclusion, well, you won't find it here.I'm really at a loss to understand why someone of Haldeman's reputation would have published this fairly short novel in the shape it's in. Perhaps he had bills coming due. Perhaps he thought this would be the perfect start to a multi-volume future history. Maybe he thought that this was just a very good book as it stands.The narrative changes almost with each paragraph. Someone in one paragraph is often the narrator in the next. This works with movies, but is a new - and not-quite-succesful experiment in this book. Changes in viewpoint can round out a story nicely, but in "The Coming" they are often just impediments to a free-flowing novel.My summary: If you like Haldeman, wait until your library has a copy of the book. If it doesn't, wait until it's remaindered or comes out in paperback. It's not a true first contact story, a time-travel story (!), or a psychological study done well. It's a minor offering from a major talent.
