What's the sci fi novel, set in the far future, about a group of soldiers who have to get to safety by crossing a galaxy that is a virtual gauntlet?

I dont know, but i will hang on to this Q… it seems like my style of book

I only know one SciFi novel, from our own Matt Browne: The Future Happens Twice, baby.

Battlestar Galactica?

I can think of a couple that have a premise like this, but none written that long ago.

Maybe I’m wrong about the decade? What are the books titles?

Well, very old would be the Lensman Series by E.E. Doc Smith. Then, and I think this was in the ‘70s, was the Forever War by Joe Halderman.

Those are the two that I was thinking that had people crossing a galaxy fighting an enemy. There is plenty of other space opera I read, but none with quite the bent your looking for.l

No way, It’s Ender’s Game duh!!

Oh, Clint Eastwood movie? Hmmm, I might be wrong.
