Book 2 of the 3 part graphic novel adaptation of The Forever War. The story covers the period 2020-2203. After his first one-sided encounter with the Taurans, Mandella comes back to an unrecognizably changed Earth, leaving no choice but to get back to war, which means he can look as if he knows what he's doing. It deals with the effects of time dilation on the veterans and on human society involved in the war, as well as with the cold-hearted way in which the military bureaucracy ignores human feelings.
This book is part of the The Forever War: Graphic Novels series and is book #2 in the series.
