Title: Anyone else a BOLO fan?
Post by: Tatooine_Todd on August 26, 2007, 07:21:48 AM
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).

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.
