Reception

Dave Langford reviewed The Forever Man for White Dwarf #95, and stated that "Mostly it's good, solid entertainment with some thoughtful asides - though I'm never very convinced when a grim emotional impasse is transformed into a very happy boy-meets-girl ending in just a few lines of dialogue on the last page."^[1]
