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.
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...
評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...
評分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...
評分 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。
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
评分作為英文小說通俗易懂,網上的第一個翻譯版本也很有愛
评分滿篇dirty words,情節一般,不是我喜歡的類型
评分仿佛星艦傘兵第二彈
