Zona and was conectada, and now I live; more than live. Because of your
compassion and swiftness.
"All the time I was changing, these past two weeks, I was hoping you would
still be alive so that we could, as you say, jack together." She smiled. "Your
funny language.
"And then I come here and find out that you live but have been blinded. But I
have been with those who knew you and loved you when you could see into each
other's hearts."
She took my hand and looked at Amelia and offered her other hand. "Amelia...
we also have touched for one instant."
So the three of us held hands in a triangle, a silent circle. Three people who
almost threw away their lives, for love, for anger, for grief.
"You ... you," she said. 'No hay palabras. There are no words for this." She
let go of our hands and walked toward the beach, wiping her eyes in the
brightness.

THE END
THE FOREVER WAR
Faultless advanced military technology, fascinating aliens, and a dangerously
believable future Earth ...
a book that's damn near perfect - Peter F. Hamilton
Private William Mandella is a reluctant hero, drafted into an elite military
unit to fight in a distant interstellar war against an unknowable and
unconquerable alien enemy. Mandella will perform his duties and, as he
survives, rise through the ranks, but his greatest test will come when he
returns to Earth.
Because of the effects of relativity, every time he comes home after a few
months' tour of duty, centuries have gone by on Earth, making him and his
fellows ever more isolated from the world for whose future they are fighting.

'If there was a Fort Knox for science fiction writers who really matter, we'd

William Mandella and his partner Marygay survived a war which should never
have been. They lived long enough to see humanity changed beyond all
recognition. The human race has evolved into Man, a group mind similar to the
alien Taurans that William and Marygay used to fight.

baseline that humanity can return to if Man's continuing evolution goes badly
wrong. The old soldiers decide to hijack a spaceship and plot a 40,000
light-year-long journey to nowhere and back: an attempt to escape to the
future using
