具体描述
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.

读后感
科幻？要是不把它当科幻看，《垂暮之战》就是本粗俗的唠嗑作。虽然还不到屎尿横飞的境界，但大小便失禁的级别肯定是到了。冷笑话搭着荤笑话、无聊的搭讪、作爱作爱、粗口不断……好一盘粗俗的大杂烩。 但让我颇为费解的是，粗俗的小说每每都能带给我星点的温馨感觉。DeMille大...
评分这本书其实故事并不算得第一流。 可打了五分，因为觉得很打动人。 科幻小说的独特之处当然在于超越现实之外的设定和铺陈。可一部好的科幻小说，绝不仅此而已。我觉得这恐怕也是为什么中国的科幻小说不够好看的最大问题所在。 也许有些人不在乎。 科幻...
