Description
John Perry does two things on his seventy-fifth birthday. First, he visits his wife’s grave. Then he joins the army. The good news is that humanity has reached the stars. The bad news is that there are few planets suitable for life, and many alien races are fighting us for them. So humanity is at war. Far from Earth, brutal, bloody and relentless battles have been raging for decades. Earth itself is safe, and most of its resources are controlled by the Colonial Defense Forces. Everyone knows that when the time comes to retire, they can join. The CDF is not interested in young people; it wants those with decades of experience and skills. Once you leave Earth, you can never return. You serve two years in combat, and if you survive, you can settle on one of the hard-won planets. John Perry seizes this opportunity. He thinks he knows what awaits him, but real combat light-years from home is far more difficult than he can imagine, and what he becomes is even more extraordinary.
