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 aliens willing to fight for them are common. The universe, it turns out, is a hostile place.
So: we fight. To defend Earth (a target for our new enemies, should we let them get close enough) and to stake our own claim to planetary real estate. Far from Earth, the war has gone 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, which shields the home planet from too much knowledge of the situation. What's known to everybody is 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 your time 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.

评分很好看,很好看而已
评分外国类似此类书好多
评分还不错,但没找到太多自己期望读到的东西
看到论坛里有人推荐此书,而且介绍确实也很吸引人,“年迈的老人还能参加战争么?”带着这个疑问才看了下去,不过看到一半就发现所谓的垂暮仅仅只是意识而已,身体已经不再垂暮了,而且比年轻时要更强,这还算是老人的战争么??再说大脑也会逐渐老化,用8086的芯片能带...
评分2015年3月8日读完,共22.4万字。 这是约翰·斯卡尔齐的第一部小说。作为一名草根幽默作家,这部小说最初连载于他的博客,被慧眼识珠的编辑发现,随后一炮而红。 当然,这是一部科幻小说。不过并不是像阿瑟·克拉克一样的硬科幻:读完以后让人啧啧...
评分这篇书评其实跟这本书没有太大的关系,纯粹是我今天又看了一遍“the man from earth”以后,自己有些有意思的想法需要写下来。 看到老人战争里面的意识转换机,突然想起来了阿西莫夫的一个叫做永生的短篇,大概是神可以制作出一个和你大脑一摸一样的计算机,然后在你死去的瞬...
评分真佩服哪个编辑整出这么个SB书名,再加上这张喜庆封面,真以为是地球遭到一打外星生物侵略了。原来是垂暮之战。有时剑走偏锋能收获奇效,编辑你的目的达到了,垂暮之战封面太土,所以没购来看。 故事说不上紧张、惊悚,诙谐幽默成分反而多些,想想一群特爱吃人的外星人把人类...
