Supertanks Mass Market Paperback – April 1, 1987

Science has elevated war to a hi-tech killing art. The armaments and countermeasures of today's war toys are childlike compared to what a violent future holds in store for battlefields across the galaxy.

At the vanguard of tomorrow's armies are tanks. Powerful and deadly behemoths, armed from tread to turret, crushing everything in their path as they thunder into battle across alien worlds.

Top review from the United States

Steven Woodcock
4.0 out of 5 stars Tanks!
Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2017
A fine collection of military-themed science fiction focused on tanks--usually but not always those gigantic, semi-sentient monsters like the Bolos. There's a wide range of conditions, some of which I'd not seen before, and overall the book holds together very well. One in particular--"Field Test"--frankly has one of the more effective final sentences I've seen in such a story. It'll make any man who understands the quest for honor move to tears.

An excellent collection. There were only a couple I thought were duds. Recommended
