5.0 out of 5 stars tmr0195@concentric.net 30 Dec 1998
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I have read three of Kieth Laumer's books on Bolos. Each of the books I have read has kept me on the edge of my seat. Kieth Laumer stimulated both my imagination as to the possiblities of AI computers and my emotions about both the Bolos and humans that each story has evolved around. "Bolo Rising" is an excellent book which has kept up with the tradition Kieth Laumer has set down in his other three books of this series I have read. I was routing for Hector through out the book and I was saddened when he did not make an escape with the rest of the people who left the battered world of Cloud.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does Not Disappoint-- A Great Read 28 Aug 1999
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This was a totally satisfying bolo novel. I have read a number of others, but most of the best are in the past. I'm delighted that a talented writer has gotten his teeth into this series, and hopefully can continue to breathe life into it.

The personalities were developed very well for an action novel. As well as we could ask. Hector's personality came alive as his "blocks" were slowly removed, one by one, and his real personality emerged.

Battle scenes were gripping, and they were abundant. You got to really care about the characters, also. The ambiguous ending makes us wonder if William Keith is planning a sequel. I hope so.

One theme that unifies the book and adds a bit more than just the "thriller" aspect is the exploration of "machine intelligence." The aliens are machines also, and the contest is not just based on gunfire, but on whether Hector's mental processes can "checkmate" the alien thoughts of the /*/*/*/, as the invaders call themselves.

David Drake's books are great, but he has totally stopped writing future war novels. Too bad. Now let's just hope that Mr. Keith picks up the mission and pumps out a few more.

Can't put this book down ! ! !
