Summary
NEW AWESOME STORIES OF MILITARY SF FROM TOP AUTHORS David Weber， Larry Correia， Wen Spencer， Tony Daniel， Christopher Ruocchio， and many more！
Brute force。 Intransigent defiance。 Adamantine will。
These are the hallmarks of the AI tank。 Formed from cold steel and superpowered computing brains， these gigantic tanks with the firepower of an entire army have been the decisive factors in interplanetary battle。 But are humans worthy of the extraordinary instruments of war that they have created？ Are the World Breakers the greatest protector of human liberty， or its worst threat？ For， while these World Breakers very definitely have minds of their own， the question remains: within their iron and superluminal quantum breasts， does there lie a faithful heart？ Stories of world breakers and world makers in the great tradition of Keith Laumer’s Bolos from David Weber， Larry Correia， Wen Spencer， and more！

About World Breakers:
"'Dyma Fi’n Sefyll' by David Weber may be the finest MilSF short story I have ever read in the fifty-seven years I have been reading science fiction。 It alone is worth the price of the book。"—Tangent
About Star Destroyers， edited by Tony Daniel & Christopher Ruocchio:
“。 。 。 spectacular space battles and alien contacts 。 。 。 themes of military ethics， the uses of artificial intelligence， and the limits of the capacity of the human mind。 。 。 。 it is the human interactions and decisions that ultimately drive the stories。 。 。 。 will appeal to fans of military and hard science fiction and any readers fascinated by the possibilities of space travel。”—Booklist
“。 。 。 stories of giant spaceships at war， at peace， and in the often-gray areas between。 。 。 。 a worthy addition to a long tradition of ship-based fiction， and its authors portray captains， arcane astrogators， and civilian child passengers with equal depth。 It’s recommended for fans of military SF and space adventure。”—Publishers Weekly
“。 。 。 you’d probably expect some tight， action-filled space opera stories of giant space battles 。 。 。 and there’s some of that。 But there are also espionage stories， rescue missions， political conflicts， alternate histories， even a few humorous tales。 。 。 。 each author took the premise in a different direction 。 。 。 if I had to identify one common feature to all the stories， it would be that they’re all fun。 。 。 。 Like it says， big ships blowing things up。 What’s not to like？”—Analog

4's and 5's across the board。 Nice to see （read） Weber writing in a 'Bolo' universe again。 4's and 5's across the board。 Nice to see （read） Weber writing in a 'Bolo' universe again。 。。。more

World Breakers is an anthology of stories mostly about AI Tanks。 Not all of the stories are about tanks despite what the blurbs would have you believe。 One story， in particular， is about a sentient 4x4 pickup truck。 Despite this， all of the stories are very enjoyable with my favorite being "Dyma Fi'n Sefyll" by David Weber。 This anthology contains stories by，David WeberLarry CorreiaWen SpencerKevin IkenberryPatrick ChilesTony DanielHank DavisKacey EzellChristopher RuocchioMonalisa FosterRobert E World Breakers is an anthology of stories mostly about AI Tanks。 Not all of the stories are about tanks despite what the blurbs would have you believe。 One story， in particular， is about a sentient 4x4 pickup truck。 Despite this， all of the stories are very enjoyable with my favorite being "Dyma Fi'n Sefyll" by David Weber。 This anthology contains stories by，David WeberLarry CorreiaWen SpencerKevin IkenberryPatrick ChilesTony DanielHank DavisKacey EzellChristopher RuocchioMonalisa FosterRobert E。 HampsonLou J Berger 。。。more

World Breakers edited by Tony Daniel The book purports to be about sentient tanks。 Well， some of the stories are but others are more like AIs with weapons。 As in any short story collection it is hard to review without going over every story。 There wasn’t a story in this I didn’t like。 Weber’s might have been my favorite but not by any more than a nose。 If you like sentient tanks， really who doesn’t， I highly recommend the book。 Honor is not reserved for mere organic beings。

Like many a themed anthology， not every writer listens to what the editor wanted。The first two， and last stories are military scifi but some of the others are romance and love stories。 I really don't want to read about tanks falling in love or soldiers falling in love with their tanks。I think that the author could have done a better job at revising or weeding out the weak stories。 This could have been a much better book。 Like many a themed anthology， not every writer listens to what the editor wanted。The first two， and last stories are military scifi but some of the others are romance and love stories。 I really don't want to read about tanks falling in love or soldiers falling in love with their tanks。I think that the author could have done a better job at revising or weeding out the weak stories。 This could have been a much better book。 。。。more
