I hope it comes true one day and when I am 75 I can join this army and have a different but intriguing life instead of waiting for death. I love Science fiction. good one.

节奏紧凑、人物鲜明,基本上已经是一本“好看”的小说了。虽然并没有什么特别别出心裁的新点子(大多数的元素你甚至可以在起点的星战文里找到,除了书名暗示的那个老人当战士的想法之外),但作者组织得非常之好。对文明的多样性描述很合我胃口,加一分。

Old Man's War 在线电子书 图书描述

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 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. John Scalzi is a prolific journalist, columnist, and non-fiction writer whose books include "The Rough Guide to the Universe" and "The Book of the Dumb." His web journal The Whatever is one of the longest-established and most widely-read weblogs on the net. John Perry did two things on his 75th birthday. First he visited his wife's grave.

Because the actual fight, light-years from home, is far, far harder than he can imagine--and what he will become is far stranger. "Solid . . . Scalzi] sidesteps most of the cliches of military science fiction, delivers fast-paced scenes of combat and pays attention to the science underpinning his premise."--"San Francisco Chronicle" "Scalzi's imagined interstellar arena is coherently and compellingly delineated . . . His speculative elements are top-notch. His combat scenes are blood-roiling. His dialogue is suitably snappy and profane. And the moral and philosophical issues he raises . . . insert useful ethical burrs under the military saddle of the story."--Paul Di Filippo, "The Washington Post""Thought-provoking "--"Entertainment Weekly" "Smartly conceived and thoroughly entertaining, Old Man's War is a splendid novel."-"Cleveland Plain Dealer" "When humanity reaches the stars, it discovers that it must defend its claim to new planets against alien races with similar expansionist tendencies. To ensure the expertise of its soldiers, Earth creates the Colonial Defense Force, an army of men and women otherwise classified as senior citizens, who give up their lives on Earth for an uncertain and perilous future among the stars. Scalzi's first novel presents a new approach to military sf, boasting an unusual cast of senior citizens as heroes. A good choice for most libraries."--"Library Journal" "Though a lot of SF writers are more or less efficiently continuing the tradition of Robert A. Heinlein, Scalzi's astonishingly proficient first novel reads like an original work by the late grand master . . . This virtuoso debut pays tribute to SF's past while showing that well-worn tropes still can have real zip when they're approached with ingenuity."--Publishers Weekly "(starred review)" "Gripping and surpassingly original. It's "Starship Troopers" without the lectures. It's "The Forever War" with better sex. It's funny, it's sad, and it's true."--Cory Doctorow"John Scalzi is a fresh and appealing new voice, and "Old Man's War" is classic SF seen from a modern perspective--a fast-paced tour of a daunting, hostile universe."--Robert Charles Wilson "I enjoyed "Old Man's War "immensely. A space war story with fast action, vivid characters, moral complexity and cool speculative physics, set in a future you almost want to live into, and a universe you sincerely hope you don't live in already."--Ken MacLeod

Old Man's War 在线电子书 读后感

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

我觉得老人战争这个书,前半部不错,主要不错在语言风格方面 。后半部就很平庸了 变成了星际战争的大俗套,如果延续前半本的风格,搞成星际黑色幽默就好了 这本书除了受星船伞兵很大影响之外,也有点类似安德的游戏。 安德的游戏的主旨和他类似,如何和宇宙中其他物种相处,是...  

评分

《垂暮之战》和《幽灵旅》买来已经吃了不少尘了, 差不多已经忘记了购买的初衷。 这天也不是发了什么想头, 从书柜中抓出这笨薄薄的小册子。 首先翻开的还是《幽灵旅》, 看了序文与介绍才知道, 原来《垂暮之战》才是系列第一作。 昨晚匆匆看了个开篇便睡了, 今天虽是周末,...  

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。
