The Forever War
by Joe HaldemanA soldier experiences the toll of interstellar war against a deadly alien foe in this Hugo and Nebula Award–winning science fiction masterpiece. In this novel, a landmark of science fiction that began as an MFA thesis for the Iowa Writers&’ Workshop and went on to become an award-winning classic—inspiring a play, a graphic novel, and most recently an in-development film—man has taken to the stars, and soldiers fighting the wars of the future return to Earth forever alienated from their home.

Batman Returns
1992 superhero film by Tim Burton
Batman Returns is a 1992 American superhero film directed by Tim Burton and written by Daniel Waters.
