First he visited his wife's grave. Then he joined the army.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo: 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEarth 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eOld Man's War Series\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e#1 \u003ci\u003eOld Man’s War\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e#2 \u003ci\u003eThe Ghost Brigades\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e#3 \u003ci\u003eThe Last Colony\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e#4 \u003ci\u003eZoe’s Tale\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e#5 \u003ci\u003eThe Human Division\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e#6 \u003ci\u003eThe End of All Things \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShort fiction: “After the Coup”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eOther Tor Books\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Android’s Dream\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAgent to the Stars\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eYour Hate Mail Will Be Graded\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFuzzy Nation\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRedshirts\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLock In\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Collapsing Empire\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tor Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47154191794416,"sku":"9781429914710","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781429914710_p0.jpg?v=1763748515","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781429914710","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
