The Grandfather's War by Murray Leinster audiobook. Genre: scifi On the interstellar frontier, war is supposed to be obsolete. Distance, physics, and modern technology have made the old-style clash of fleets and armies effectively impossible. So when the Med Service receives an urgent call from the colony world Phaedra II, warning of casualties from a war about to erupt, the request sounds like a misunderstanding - until Dr. Calhoun is dispatched in a small Med Ship to find out what is really happening. Traveling with his sharp-eyed, furred companion Murgatroyd, Calhoun expects to solve a public health problem, not enter a political minefield. But Phaedra II is a society splitting along a frightening fault line: a conflict of generations where children and parents are lining up as enemies, each side convinced the other is destroying their future. As tensions harden into open violence, Calhoun must do what the Med Service does best - treat the wounded, trace the true cause of the crisis, and outthink forces that prefer panic to cure. In a story that blends action, invention, and social commentary, Leinster turns a medical mission into a race to prevent a world from tearing itself apart.
