I love everything Bolo. I know I read this, but it was a while ago, so I can't recall anything specific. But it's Bolo. So, giant, thinking tanks with huge battles. I'm in.

Were all of the stories in this collection 5-star worthy? No, rarely (never in my history) do anthologies manage that.
But this is one of my favorite science-fiction concepts. I love AI. I especially love when we don't try to make the AI's housing look like a person.
I read this as a sort of proof of concept. I was pretty well certain I would be really into the Bolo series but I wanted to test it out before I mass bought the whole collection. And I was right, I absolutely adore these intelligent tanks.
If you like non-humanoid robots, if you like military fiction and strategy, if you like short sci-fi stories, if you like harrowing tales of individuals fighting the odds and protecting their comrades I would absolutely recommend.

Short stories about super tanks. I read this years ago. Loved it. Still love it.
I wish I had a Bolo

Collection of short stories featuring Keith Laumer's Bolos - AI controlled tanks of the future.
Covers from Mk III up to Mk LX and a few 20's and 30's.
There's no real stand out stories in this collection. They've got a decent selection of authors to put their spin on things in a fairly workmanlike fashion.
