There's been a very quiet mention of the Bolo stories - let me mention them explicitly.
Originally by Keith Laumer, there are Bolo stories by many authors. Bolos are large 'tanks' with AI controllers partnered with a human commander.
Keith Laumer's original Bolo stories are just about to come out in the November 2009 webcription as
The Compleat Bolo - three quarters of the book is currently available in draft form, the full book sometime in the next couple of weeks.
The set of six volumes by various authors,
Bolos I through
Bolos VI are available, as are the novels by David Weber,
Bolo!, and
Old Soldiers , three other novels by William H. Keith, Jr.:
Bolo Brigade,
Bolo Strike and
Bolo Rising (this last one due in the December websciption), and even one by John Ringo and Linda Evans,
The Road to Damascus which is available in the free library.

All good stuff.

Basically I want soldiers story during large scale war type stuff but with clear scifi leanings.
Anyone got any favourites?
Thanks
