Old Man's War Audiobook 소설 & 이야기

But on the lower shelf, pushed toward the back like something filed away rather than stored, I found it. No title on the spine. I pulled it free and opened the cover. “ A Complete Record of the Human Management System as Established by the Wolf Council in the Third Year Following the Great War’s Cessation,” I read out loud to myself. Great War. The same war, Mye had mentioned. I carried the book to the chair by the dead fireplace and sat down. The first section was bureaucratic—council minutes, resource allocations, the dry language of people building something terrible and calling it policy. I moved through it quickly, scanning for substance.

Wolf was so worried that he couldn't bear it: "What do you mean by understanding quietly?" It was done! Hooked. The old lady was very happy: "Grandma, I will show you a shortcut... Quick, go and help grandma get the phone..." Alpha immediately went and brought the old lady’s glasses. Putting on her glasses and taking the phone, the old lady clicked on it. “Grandma, what are you doing? Listening to audio novels?” The old lady clicked on an audio novel APP. “Well, reading books will strain your eyes, and listening to novels will make the room more noisy and lively, and you can also have fun. Nowadays, although novels are terrible, they are still very useful to pass the time..."

Nicole shouted my name. It was like her voice went through one ear and out the other. I was now able to relax again. “He’s better now.” Her voice faded. “Good, we need to get him up and ready to head out.” Grimm told her. My eyes opened and I turned to Grimm, slowly. “What’s going on?” I asked him. He smirked at me and the next words that he said to me had me up and about. “War.” He told me.

The oldest of them who had been sitting quietly and listening as the debate went on finally stood up. "There was a time long before we found this place that I didn't believe in fighting a war," he said in a voice so harsh that I just wanted to tell him to stop talking because I didn't want him to be in pain. "But then I almost died." Murmurs filled the room as each one of my father's council looked at the old man. Some nodded as if they knew his story like they were there. Like they were a witness of something horrible but then a sliver of hope appeared.

“I’m an old woman. The war between the lands has made me seen things that I shouldn’t. I’m honored to have a chosen Luna in my midst before I die, if you bring peace to the land then I’ll be happy. An old lass as myself can hold onto hope.” Merida’s words sparked something inside of me. Tears almost welled up in my eyes. She was so kind and thoughtful, the first person in my entire years of living to actually believe in me. I was going to pass the trial, just to cheat my clear course towards death and fulfill the destiny I barely wanted. “I’m ready.” I called out to Buck who was right outside my door after Merida left. The door opened and Lucien came in. He’d changed into a simple shirt and

"There I was going, straight to marry a man in a wheelchair that I didn't know..." He begins to read, and although the story is long, everyone listens to it as the clock ticks by; her grandchildren and her children, despite having heard it so many times, listen to the old man calmly. The sick begins to come out of their rooms, all those who are hospitalized also come out to listen. "Dylan junior, send for more copies, I think another batch of this book is going to be needed" the old man says again. Dylan smiles and then answers: “Okay father, you keep reading.”

He slowly said to the old man, "There's nothing to thank me for." ... Hearing those words, the old man was stunned. He had never seen a younger generation like Lucas before. The old man said to Lucas again, "Young man, I am the Leader of the War Organization. If you are interested, you can come to my War Organization." ... However, to the old man's surprise, Lucas shook his head and said slowly, "I'm not interested in going to the War Organization." ... With that said, Lucas prepared to leave. The elder was stupefied. As the War Organization's Leader, he was actually overlooked.

He stood there carrying a tray with a clean white towel and a bottle of mineral water on it. The man called “General” immediately stopped running and walked toward Steven, breathing slightly heavily. Without responding to Steven’s earlier words, the man took the towel and the bottled water provided by the soldier who was his trusted aide. Steven sighed in relief. After downing the mineral water, he asked, “How many more days do I have to wait?” Steven didn’t need to ask what the war general was referring to, he understood immediately. “Three more days, General.” The war general snorted in irritation, “My wife must be worried sick right now.”

A kettle rested over a modest stone fireplace where water simmered gently, filling the room with the comforting scent of tea and cedarwood. An elderly man sat quietly beside the fire. His silver hair caught the morning light. A pair of spectacles rested low upon his nose while an open book lay forgotten across his lap. He looked up. Smiled. And for one breathtaking instant, the years between past and present simply disappeared. Michael's knees nearly gave way. "Father..." The old man's smile deepened. "There you are." His voice carried the same calm warmth preserved in every recording they had heard throughout the mountain, yet hearing it alive rather than echoed through old machines transfo
