Fantastic hard sci-fi book series. And it didn’t focus on this one high concept but has lots of themes about humanity. PS: Apparently a TV series is under development!

I never really understood why people called it similar to The Forever War.

The “similar premise” is mostly just acknowledging that relativity is important to space travel.

Wait, Old Man’s War has FTL? Or was it important for in-system battles? I haven’t read them in a while.

I recently red The Star Carrier Series by Ian Douglas and that has FTL and interesting hard-sci fi battles with relativity effects.

I agree that the forever war is quite different in concept and style, much more esoterical.

OMW uses “skip drives” which are teleportation through multidimensional travel, time dilation is still a bit of a factor, but not nearly to the extent of The Forever War where it’s practically the whole idea (as far as the science in the sci-fi goes)
