The bad news is that, out there, planets fit to live on are scarce--and alien races willing to fight us for them are common. So: we fight. Far from Earth, the war has been going on for decades: brutal, bloody, unyielding. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eResponsible for protecting humanity, the Colonial Defense Force doesn't want young people; they want people who carry the knowledge and skills of decades of living. You'll be taken off Earth, never to return. You'll serve two years in combat. And if you survive, you'll be given a homestead of your own on a hard-won planet light-years from home. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJohn Perry is taking that deal. He thinks he knows what to expect.
