Hey all,
     My absolute favorite Sci-Fi books are Keith Laumer's Bolo series books, and the newer ones by David Weber, and William Keith Jr.

     If you haven't read any of them, the BOLO is a giant, self aware tank.   The books have mostly been anthologies covering BOLO history from the early 21st century till the BOLO Mark XXX's and beyond.  If you like military sci-fi, you'll really like the stories of the Dinochrome Brigade (that's what the BOLOs are organized as).

From here to the eyes and the ears of the 'Verse, that's my motto or might be if I start having a motto.

I've liked Laumer's stuff for years.  I just read BOLO! by David Weber a few months ago.  He did a decent job of it.

The first story I read by Laumer may have been Galactic Odyssey in this downloadable e-book.

Andre Norton does it better than J.K.Rowling
