Welcome to Litsy!

Starting this today on audio. It will definitely be a different kind of military sci-fi from the last two Phule's Company books 🤣🤣

20 years after an initial disastrous expedition to Maleiva III, another expedition is sent to observe the destruction of the planet in a collision with a gas giant. Although there was not supposed to be intelligent life on the planet, scans reveal the remains of cities. A team goes down to the surface to investigate and gets stranded.

Originally, I planned to let voting go until the end of the month, but since this is the overwhelming favorite, three times the votes for Deus Irae, I will go ahead and announce that June's selection for #ClassicLSFBC is The Forever War by Joe Haldeman. A copy should be available at most libraries or used book stores. If you have premium subscriptions to Audible or Spotify, it's available on both formats for free.

Thanks for sharing, @Bookwomble This was an entertaining, quick-listen audio dramatization. I haven't read the book nor seen any of the adaptations, but I liked the story and I can see how it could be expanded in some engaging ways.

A BBC radio adaptation of a previous #ClassicLitsySciFiBookClub group read, if anyone's interested 😊👽

We only had two books nominated for #ClassicLSFBC June reading selection. The Forever War by Joe Haldeman and Deus Irae by Philip K. Dick & Roger Zelazny. Voting starts now until the end of the month. I'm throwing my vote for Deus Irae, but either book would make for interesting reading.

I had fairly high expectations for a such a well-regarded sci-fi book. While I appreciated the potential of the world-building, I disliked pretty much all the characters and the plot. Also, why did most people have thematic or space-y names and the main characters were called Paul and Jessica? Paul gave off major "not like the other girls" vibes. None of his victories seemed earned. The religious context was incoherent. Not recommended.
