Berserker Wars [Mass Market Paperback]

Fred Saberhagen (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1994

"LIFE AND DEATH IN DREADFUL CONFLICT STROVE..." It happened long ago and far away. Perhaps in this galaxy, perhaps in one close by. Two war-maddened races fought -- and though both are gone, their legacy abides: the Frankenstein weapon that destroyed not, only the enemy, but the creator. The Berserkers, robotic, asteroid-sized killers programmed to one purpose: to seek out and end life. The death machines have harried their way across our galaxy. Now they have come for us.

Here at last is the essence of the Berserker Saga in a single volume: THE BERSERKER WARS

I found this book on tape in a library by chance. What a great collection of stories around a horrible idea! Huge, automated killing machines, left over from an ancient war, are destroying life wherever they find it. It's fight or die.

After this book, I read several more of the Berserker series. Unfortunately, none of the characters and few of the interesting plots in this collection made into the later books.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good series., February 20, 1998

The Berserker series in general is a fun series to read. None of the books by themselves are fantastic, but as a series, they are worth a read.

This is what the series is all about. Snapshots of the battle against the machine, a story here, a story from there. A mixture of times and places. A must read for fans.
