Product Description:
Two aliens have wandered Earth for centuries. The Changeling has survived by adapting the forms of many different organisms. The Chameleon destroys anything or anyone that threatens it.

- Hiding in plain sight - no spoilers"Camouflage", a short, self-contained SF novel by Joe Haldeman, is a perfect example of why he is held in such high esteem by SF critics and fans alike. It's great! 4.5 stars.
At just 289 pages, Camouflage is a model of compact writing and plotting. While lacking Haldeman's trademark humor, the writing is still snappy and the dialogue believable.

I just don't get it. Maybe nothing very impressive was written the year it got the award.

- Good book.This is the second Joe Haldeman book that I have read. It was good, and had the classic Haldeman abrupt ending. This author is very imaginative, and I appreciate his ability to bounce back and forth between the past and future. Overall a good read!
Rating:
- Tight entertaining prose, with some weak character and plot elements.Camouflage was tight and fun to read. Haldeman's high concept approach and the book's corresponding structure are very strong. (Thank you for not writing another 500 page space opera, just because!) Those strengths kept me reading despite some rather obvious weak plot points and a couple of flat characters.
It's worth noting that the weak plot points didn't bother me until I was well done with the book.
What bothered me more was how little attention Haldeman put into making ... Read More
