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.
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...
評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...
評分 評分为了培养上初中的儿子对数学物理的兴趣,从小树立为人类科学进步奋斗的远大理想,从儿子上小学起,我就开始买科幻小说给他看。《三体》、《银河帝国》、《》。。不知道对儿子的学习兴趣有没有激发,反正,爹地我的阅读兴趣是被激发出来了。这不,五一长假,又买了几本美国佬Joh...
評分谈不上深度,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。
感覺和星河戰隊好像...
评分通俗易懂的科幻
评分It's funny. It's sad. And it's fucking sexy! 看到很多評論說Old Man's War是最接近Starship Troopers高度的對Starship Troopers最精彩的重現 -- 狗屁!我覺得John Scalzi比Robert Heinlein寫的好多瞭
评分地鐵讀物。
