Vietnam & Other Alien Worlds

numbered 478 out of 1000. It is not signed. Vietnam and other Alien Worlds covers a lot of ground, from the killing fields of a generation past to strange world centuries in the future. It covers spectra of feeling from terror to gentle nostalgia, humor to curiosity; it goes from the subline to the ridiculous and back again. Included in one place for the first time are the novella and three novelettes set in Haldeman’s “Confederacion” universe, the odd future that was the stage for his novels All My Sins Remembered and There is No Darkness. His nonfiction is also collected here for the first time, for the autobiographical essay that gives this book its title to observations about art and space travel and reading. Four narrative poems close out the book, finally returning to Vietnam with the acclaimed “DX.”
