The Grandfathers' War
Murray Leinster
Read by Phil Chenevert
Another twisty tale from Murray Leinster about that busy little Med Ship fixing problems throughout the universe. In this case, the med service has received a plea from the planet Pheydra, for medical help take care of casualties from a war that is about to erupt. Since inter-planetary war is of course completely impossible these days, everyone is perplexed but just to be on the safe side, a med ship is sent out to see what the real problem is. Naturally, our hero and Mergatroid are those whose lot it falls to to deal with this sticky situation where a planet's children are at war with their parents. - Summary by phil c (2 hr 34 min)

Reviews
Generational conflict... in SPAAAACE
Mark Burchard
this is a really interesting story that applies today more than when it was written in the 50s. this book is basically about how multiple Generations of can endanger the welfare of their children even as they think they're engaged in a great struggle to save them. some fairly modern sociological and epidemiological ideas employed here. in terms of modern America the situation would be Lead-addled Boomer MAGA grandparents burning their more liberal children's houses to the ground because those children went No Contact with crazy grandpa and grandma. The poor children need a no contact order from both sides. I'm leaving out a few things there like who's foisting kids on whom, and why but it's not important.
Good

This one is a tiny bit out of universe for the med ship man books but it’s pretty good. It is not as good as main ones but read well and just fine. They never even have coffee! Nice to have another one in the series.
Love the med ship stories. Wonderful narration.
