Description
When humans face tough threats across the galaxy, there's only one option: break out the Bolos! Gigantic Al-controlled tanks with enough firepower for an army (and possessing warmer hearts than many of the flesh-and-blood creatures they protect), the Bolos battle on distant star systems to defend us all.Tags

This bolo book is different from the previous ones, in that it heavily focuses on the humans side of the story, instead of the bolo's inner monologue. I've seen reviews online that say this makes it a bad bolo book, but I think that's unfair. The bolos are critical to the telling of this story, and you do hear from them. More than that, ultimately a point about the relationship between bolos and humans is being made that would be a lot harder to make if the story was told from the bolo side of the fence.
This was a good book and I enjoyed it.
