Before George Lucas's "Death Star", before Star Trek's "Doomsday Machine", there were The Berserkers: intelligent, space-faring killing machines whose sole purpose is to destroy all biological life.In... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Relax, pitiful humans. You're a long way from a universe dominated by planet-sized killer robots raging for your blood. Humanity has a lot going for it; we robots can't wipe you out as long as you write such interesting books. Even though Saberhagen seemed to drag a bit in this outing, his Berserkers are still a fresh and original concept in the cluttered field of SF. Relax for now, humans...but keep your guard up.

The original was much better and to not acknowledge those who fought and died for this story to be written is sad. Doug H.

It is amazing that this theme has not been completely played out by now. Saberhagen actually has some new twists and turns on a plot and scenario that is one of the classics of fiction. If you never have read one of the "Berserker" series -- this would be a good one to start with, but be aware of the long tradition of the series that has stretched over the decades
I enjoyed this immensely! Thank you Fred!!!

I devoured this book, and wanted more. His berserkers are relentless. I am looking forward to the next book, Shiva in Steel, which ( I heard from Fred) is due out maybe next fall. Perhaps, one day, we'll learn a little more of the history behind the menace and its journy across the galaxy. Once again, thanks Fred, and keep them coming!!!! ---Vern Townsen
