Synopsis

Drafted into an elite military unit to fight an alien enemy light-years from Earth, physics student William Mandella discovers that due to time dilation, each combat tour ages him only months while centuries pass back home. As the war drags on across a thousand years of Earth-time, Mandella returns from each deployment to a civilization increasingly alien to him.
