Private William Mandella hadn't wanted to go to war. But being one of Earth's best and brightest, he - along with the rest of his prime and promiscuous co-ed cadre - had been drafted into the interstellar conflict.

Battling the Taurans was the least of his problems as he worked his way up through the ranks to major. In spanning the stars at faster-than-light speeds, he aged only months... while Earth aged centuries.

And though war in space was hell, Major Mandella soon learned it was nothing compared to coping with 1200 drastically changing years back home!
