At 75 years old, John Perry is after a fresh start - so, naturally, he joins the army. Earth's military machine can transform elderly recruits, restoring their lost youth. But in return, its Colonial Defence Force demands two years of hazardous service in space. This is how Perry finds himself in a new body crafted from his original DNA. A genetically enhanced and upgraded new body, ready for battle. But upgrades alone won't keep Perry safe. He'll be fighting for his life on the front line as he defends humanity's colonies from hostile aliens. He'll pay the price for his choices, and he'll discover the universe is even more dangerous than he imagined.

Wow! What a first book. Intense and interesting in all the right places. Slightly military and nationalist but nothing you can't look past.

Guerra do Velho começa como uma ficção científica de guerra, mas entrega bem mais do que isso. A ideia de envelhecer, trocar de corpo e ainda ser jogado num conflito absurdo funciona muito bem. Gostei da narração, do protagonista, e fiquei triste pelos outros membros da gangue dos velharias.🥲 Ouvir o audiolivro na voz do Mauro Ramos foi um bônus, eu amo a voz dele e combinou perfeitamente. Espero que ele duble os outros livros da trilogia para eu dar continuidade. 😅

Kind of meh. Not bad. Nothing about it gave me the drive to read any other Scalzi book. Read Starship Troopers before this one.
