William H. Keith
Created by Keith Laumer
 TO THE VICTOR GO THE SPOILS ....
And this Victor is fully capable of raking them in, a Bolo Mark XXXIII of the
4th Regiment, Second Brigade, First Confederation Mobile Army Corps, in the
vanguard of an all-out Bolo strike against the planet Caern. The enemy is the
Aetryx, shadowy, unknown beings who enslave other species with nothing less
than the promise of immortality. As a savage, interstellar war begins, Colonel Jon
Streicher prepares to lead Victor and the rest of his regiment in that most difficult
of tactical evolutionsтАФplanetary invasion.
But D-Day turns into a disaster, and Caern is a deadly trap. Colonel
Streicher and his command team find themselves stranded on the target planet,
desperately attempting to survive the hellfire chaos of modern warfare, as Bolo
faces Bolohuman hybrid in a cataclysmic showdown that will uncover unexpected
truths, reveal hidden secrets, and even call into question the loyalty of the
Dinochrome Brigade itself.
For just what will happen if the Aetryx aren't slavers after all, but literal gods
who can make good on their promise of eternal life?
The Dinochromes are about to find out.
