Official synopsis Publisher
“What is a BOLO? The symbol of brute force, intransigent defiance, and adamantine will. But on a deeper level, the BOLO is the Lancelot of the future: The perfect knight, ‘sans peur et sans reproche’. The perfect gentleman. With plated armor, a laser canon [sic], an electronic brain, and wheels. Honor of the Regiment is the amplified history of the BOLO, from the first armored AI on Earth rescuing an American legion stranded in a forgotten part of the globe, to the last peacekeeper among the stars, defending humanity from aliens that threaten the entire species…”–Pg.
