Bolo: The Annals of the Dinochrome Brigade

The Bolo is a fighting machine of the future: starting off as just a tank with a little added automation, it gradually evolves over the course of time into an intelligent, self-aware machine capable of operating under its own initiative.

This collection contains six stories, all written in the 1960s, featuring different models of the Bolo in different time periods.

The more substantial stories here are ‘The Night of the Trolls', ‘The Last Command', and ‘Combat Unit'.

‘Courier', ‘Field Test', and ‘A Relic of War' are readable enough but relatively feeble stories.
