I've read "All My Sins Remembered", which was a novel assembled from short stories. It was good, but flawed in the sense that its roots were a bit too visible.

Now, it's winning critical acclaim, and Joe has been named to the Grand Master Award, the highest award in science fiction. Also, Ridley Scott (yes, THAT Ridley Scott) is considering turning The Forever War into a 3D movie.
