| 520 | _a"The Grandfathers' War" by Murray Leinster is a science fiction novel written in the late 1950s. The story centers on Calhoun, a medical officer aboard a small Med ship during a peculiar interstellar conflict, highlighting the absurdities of warfare between planets that should not engage in traditional battles due to technological constraints. Alongside his furry companion Murgatroyd, Calhoun grapples not only with the challenges of his medical mission but also with a society on the brink of self-destruction as a war looms between parents and their youthful offspring. At the start of the book, Calhoun prepares to arrive at Phaedra II amidst turmoil, contemplating the futility of a war he believes to be impossible due to the mechanics of space travel. He is jolted from his complacency when his ship is unexpectedly towed by an unidentified force, prompting him to re-evaluate his understanding of interplanetary conflict. He engages in dialogue with Murgatroyd, reflecting on the absurdity of warfare while navigating the complexities of medical duty. This sets the stage for a deeper exploration of generational conflict, societal breakdown, and the dire need for understanding and resilience in the face of chaos.
