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.
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...
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。 科幻小说虽然有不一样的外壳,...
评分看到这个稚气的名字《来自12个星球的敌人》,五色斑斓小怪兽的封面,封底介绍“外星人有多少种形态”——我觉得拿给一个八岁小朋友看应该不错,就拿回来先看看 咦?第一页老人参军,似曾相识捏?难道我小时候看过? 哇!第二页出现了“他搞上了那儿某个A片红星”,不是儿童读...
