Synopsis
On his seventy-fifth birthday, John Perry joins the Colonial Defense Forces, which gives elderly recruits young, enhanced bodies to fight in humanity's brutal interstellar wars. As Perry battles alien species across the galaxy, he begins to question why the CDF keeps Earth in the dark about what's really out there.
