A very long life by libraryfashionista |
| Mandella is a pawn in a war that goes on for centuries. Because of space travel at near light-speed, he returns home many years later, and has only aged a few. He sees the earth go through cycles, and technology progress for better and worse. A good read for those who would like to explore humanity, and the meaning of endless wars. A great sci-fi exploration of a character's life. |
