John Perry did two things on his 75th birthday. First he visited his wife’s grave. Then he joined the army. The good news is that humanity finally made it into interstellar space.

John Perry did two things on his 75th birthday. First he visited his wife’s grave. Then he joined the army. The good news is that humanity finally made it into interstellar space. The bad news is that planets fit to live on are scarce—and alien races willing to fight us for them are common. So: we fight. To defend Earth, and to stake our own claim to planetary real estate. Far from Earth, the war has been going on for decades: brutal, bloody, unyielding. Earth itself is a backwater. The bulk of humanity’s resources are in the hands of the Colonial Defense Force. Everybody knows that when you reach retirement age, you can join the CDF. They don’t want young people; they want people who carry the knowledge and skills of decades of living. You’ll be taken off Earth and never allowed to return. You’ll serve two years at the front. And if you survive, you’ll be given a generous homestead stake of your own, on one of our hard-won colony planets. John Perry is taking that deal. He has only the vaguest idea what to expect. Because the actual fight, light-years from home, is far, far harder than he can imagine—and what he will become is far stranger.

器官可以再生,思想可以培育,那么爱情呢?

浑厚的感情打底,丰富到花哨的细节铺垫其上,太适合拍成电影

噱头十足 但是主角光环太强 说实话好像也没必要一定是老人 总体来说比较一般

开头设定还很吸引人,换完身体就没那么有意思了。就是一群星际战士的故事啊。

纯正的美国科幻,not many fancy words, 真的靠故事取胜。读完又找回了当初读完海伯利安的感觉。Love and war, there's just something about these two. maybe constant threat of death is what takes for people to really know the meaning of love... 纯正的美国科幻,not many fancy words, 真的靠故事取胜。读完又找回了当初读完海伯利安的感觉。Love and war, there's just something about these two. maybe constant threat of death is what takes for people to really know the meaning of love....
