Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. 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. ( ) 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. http://www.stillhq.com/book/Keith_Laumer/Old_Soldiers.html Sample Chapters: http://webscriptions.net/chapters/1416508988/1416508988.htm no reviews | add a review
Belongs to SeriesBolos (13)
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? No library descriptions found. |
