John Perry did two things on this 75th birthday. First he visited his wife's grave. Then he joined the army. The good news is that humanity finally made it to interstellar space. The bad news is that planes fit to live on are scarce and alien races willing to fight us for them are common. Fr from Earth, the war has gone on for decades: brutal, bloody, and unyielding. We fight to defend Earth from our new enemies and to stake our claim to planetary real estate. On Earth, the bulk of the resources are in the hands of the Colonial Defence Force. Only those of retirement age can join the CDF: they want people who carry the skills from decades of living. CDF members are taken off Earth to serve two years at the front. If they survive, they're given a generous homestead on hard-won colony planets, never to return to Earth. John Perry is taking that deal with only the vaguest idea what to expect.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. Book Club Edition. Book Club edition hardcover, SIGNED on title page by author. Book is square, solid, and very plausibly unread. Sides of the pages lightly age-toned but not handling-stained. The dust jacket presents beautifully from the front, but bears a little wear at the head and heel of the spine, and just a few rubs to the edges here and there elsewhere, nothing major. Jacket is in a protective mylar Brodart cover. No price clippings, no remainder marks. You'll be compelled to issue an order in a cold, clipped tone: "Set phasers to stun," once you have this book in your hands! Signed by Author(s). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 039699
