As a lifelong lover of sci-fi, I was delighted to discover John Scalzi's Old Man's War. The story is set in the near-future and follows a 75-year-old man as he is drafted for an interstellar war on a planet colonized by humans. I sometimes retire early because I'm easily bored, but this book kept me riveted to the page. The narration by William Dufris really made this audible work stand out.

Old Man's War is a science fiction novel that takes place in the near future. Humanity has colonized the universe and the Earth is overrun with monsters and creatures from all over known space. As humanity comes to the point where it no longer needs to send humans into space, a new way of life for some old people becomes available. It turns out that these old people are physically fit enough to volunteer for a new military project created by an age-reversing drug called Stasis. They are trained as infantrymen and given a service android named Heinrich who serves as their guide to the physical trials they need to endure in order to become part of this new army.

It is narrated by the protagonist, John Perry, who explains how he joined the army on his seventieth birthday and became part of a unit that prepares for battles against an alien race called the Formics.
