Gripping and surpassingly original. Its Starship Troopers without the lectures. Its The Forever War with better sex. Its funny, its sad, and its true. --Cory Doctorow
Earth itself is a backwater. The bulk of humanitys resources are in the hands of the Colonial Defense Force, which shields the home planet from too much knowledge of the situation. Whats known to everybody is that when you reach retirement age, you can join the CDF. They dont want young people; they want people who carry the knowledge and skills of decades of living. Youll be taken off Earth and never allowed to return. Youll serve your time at the front. And if you survive, youll be given a generous homestead stake of your own, on one of our hard-won colony planets.
Old Mans War -- John Perry did two things on his 75th birthday. First he visited his wifes grave. Then he joined the army, with only the vaguest idea what to expect. Because the actual fight is far more difficult than he can imagine--and what he will become is far stranger.
The Ghost Brigades -- At first, Jared is a perfect soldier, but as another mans memories slowly surface, Jared begins to intuit the reasons for their betrayal. Time is running out: The alliance is preparing its offensive, and some of them plan worse things than humanitys mere military defeat.
The Last Colony -- Retired from his fighting days, John Perry and his wife, Jane, are pulled back into the political arena, and into the thick of interstellar politics, betrayal, and war.
