In this powerful, provocative SF classic from the award-winning author
of The Forever War, a young man of peace is transformed into an
intergalactic killer. Once Otto McGavin was a kind and gentle soul;
then he was recruited by the all-powerful Confederación. An
ultrasecretive, government-linked organization, the Confederación’s
stated mission of protecting threatened life, both human and alien,
throughout the galaxy greatly appeals to the Anglo-Buddhist McGavin as
he eagerly prepares to embark on a career of diplomacy and selfless
works. But Otto’s new masters have other plans for the idealistic
young recruit. Through a process of immersion therapy and hypnosis,
and by encasing him in temporary bodies of plastiflesh, scientists can
overlay Otto’s true persona with other ones, transforming him
completely—body, mind, and soul—into the ruthlessly effective
prime operator the Confederación wants him to be. But decades of
interstellar subterfuge and violence, and years spent wearing the
personae of spies and cold-blooded killers, must ultimately take their
toll—and before he leaves behind the lives that have been cruelly
thrust upon him, Otto McGavin will have to somehow come to terms with
who he really is and the monstrous things he has done. One of the
most powerful and thought-provoking stories from the Hugo and Nebula
Award–winning author of Worlds and The Forever War, Joe Haldeman’s
All My Sins Remembered is a stunning work of speculative fiction. This
ebook features an illustrated biography of Joe Haldeman including rare
images from the author’s personal collection.
