Old man's war  Cover Image Book Book

Old man's war / John Scalzi.

Scalzi, John, 1969- (author.). Nielsen Hayden, Patrick, (editor.). Harris, John, 1948- (illustrator.).

Summary:

John Perry did two things on his 75th birthday. First he visited his wifes 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.
