Nope, totally different book series. In Old Man’s War, 75 year olds from earth are recruited to fight aliens in space. How the military makes use of old farts is the first plot point.
I’m struggling to think of what part of the book you’re thinking of.
I’m on book 5 and 15 years have passed since the events of the first book. One of the characters says he’s 90, and they leave Earth when they’re 75. There’s no hundreds of years passing for anyone. The FTL travel is explained in a way without time dilation, but does have other side effects.
I’m being intentionally vague as Old Man’s War is one of my favourite book series and I enjoyed the reveal of the early plot points.
You mean with the skip drives? Which books I the series have you read. There’s something about them that isn’t talked about until I think book 2. Definitely in 5.
I thought he branched out to tech tips as a way of making extra money. Never seen the tech tips myself and with the controversy not too long ago probably never will.
I mean, there’s a lot of work that goes into recording and editing the audio for an entire book. As well as desire for good talent to do the reading and acting is an important part of audio books as well.
