Captain Maneka Trevor was the sole human survivor of the Dinochrome Brigade's 39th Battalion . . . but she hadn't wanted to be one. The Bolo known as "Lazarus" -- Unit 28/G-179-LAZ -- was the 39th's sole surviving Bolo . . . but he hadn't been hers. The doctors and the Bolo techs have put them both back together again, yet there are wounds no doctor or technician can heal. And now Maneka and Lazarus must serve together once again, in a war whose stakes are literally the survival or extermination of the human race. They are all that stand between a desperate, secret colony of humanity and destruction: a Bolo commander torn by survivor's guilt and a Bolo whose very existence reminds her of all she has lost. The odds against them are heavy, the stakes are huge, and surrender is not an option. The Dinochrome Brigade is used to that, but can Maneka and Lazarus survive their own shared past to defend the present?… (more)

Easily my favorite Bolo book, and one of my favorites of Weber's work as well. It's the little details, and the respect for all the characters involved that really make this book shine. ( )

Excellent, quick read that fills a nice gap in the Bolo series. Weber is a master of intergalactic warfare tactical solutions that are as plausible as they are exciting. ( )

Apparently I just don't like David Weber's writing. He bores the hell out of me. ( )

This is a more traditional bolo book than The Road to Damascus, which means I enjoyed it more. I'm a little sad that its the last one of the series, but there is another one coming soon (entitled Their Finest Hour due out in August) which gives me something to hang out for. This book gives some nice closure to operation Ragnarok, whilst not being too predictable. Overall I enjoyed it.
