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.
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...
评分科幻小说,作为类型小说的一种,“畅销”是必备属性,非如此,不足以称为“流行文学”。 作为科幻小说公认的开山本,自《弗兰肯斯坦》横空出世以来,所有的但凡你叫得出名字的科幻小说,无论其在文学与艺术上受到如何评价,但在市场层面都是或至少曾经都是超级畅销书(离中国人...
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...
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...
评分谈不上深度,谈不上立意,谈不上想象力,谈不上对异星文明的描画,这其实只是一篇实实在在的好莱坞商业片剧本。让你一口气读完,让你爽到了,就可以了。
《星船伞兵》电影剧本升级版……
评分还不错,但没找到太多自己期望读到的东西
评分感觉和星河战队好像...
评分年轻的身体能带来年轻的思想吗? 耄耋之年只因为身体的年轻思想上会有那么大的转变?
评分中文版,我还没那么强看英文版的
