News and Information for Wayland
Seventy-five-year-old John Perry joins the Colonial Defense Force because he has nothing to keep him on Earth. Suddenly installed in a better-than-new young body, he begins developing loyalty toward his comrades in arms as they battle aliens for habitable planets in a crowded galaxy. As bloody combat experiences pile up, Perry begins wondering whether the slaughter is justified; in short, is being a warrior really a good thing, let alone being human? The definition of “human” keeps expanding as Perry is pushed through a series of mind-stretching revelations.
Join us for a lively discussion of Old Man’s War by John. Scalzi. Books are available at the Circulation Desk at the library.
