THE COMING

Joe Haldeman

This book is for two guys who live a thousand miles apart and have never met: Ricky and Rusty. Both, by coincidence, were marines in the Pacific in World War II.
Ricky is Ottone Riccio, poet and prophet and rascal. Every teacher needs a teacher like him.
Rusty is James Hevelin, who is never called James except by the government. He is the friend every man needs and not many find.
In some world everyone has a Ricky on his left and a Rusty on his right, and it's a good world.

The author gratefully acknowledges the influence of James Gunn's beautiful novel,The Listeners,
on this book.
