Last week I had the pleasure of reading Marsbound by perennial Nebula- and Hugo-winner Joe Haldeman, whom I consider one of my major stylistic influences Joe's writing is deft and evocative. This guy can accomplish in one line what many writers need several paragraphs to express. Marsbound isn't one of his larger books, but it was great sci-fi fun. It's been compared to a modern-day Podkayne of Mars, which I think is accurate, and of course there's plenty of sex and violence. And strange aliens. Danger. Politics. Family. Friendships at risk. Joe's done it again. Two thumbs up.
