by Fred Saberhagen

For countless millennia the dreadful Berserker fleets have ranged across the galaxy in a relentless war against all things living. Their equally relentless opponent has been the human race, with it's heritage and instinct of battle, facing the enemy of all life. Here are four battles in the war between humans and the powerful death machines. Berserker's planet; A lone rebel, armed only with medieval weaponry, hasn't a chance against a mighty Berserker-or does he? The Berserker Throne: An exiled prince plans to use a Berserker and return to power-but can a mere human really control a Berserker? Brother Assassin: The Berserkers reach back through time to change history and only man has a prayer of stopping them. Berserker Man: This time, the killer machines may succeed in eradicating humanity from the galaxy-unless they can be stopped by a child who is half man and half machine.

Berserker Fury

by Fred Saberhagen

Published 1 August 1997

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 Berserker Fury, the robots have developed a new trick: Berserker units that can pass for human-created androids. They're gambling on the advantage this gives them, and massing for an all-out attack on human-held space. But the humans have developed a trick of their own -- they've cracked the Berserker's basic codes, and know what their battle plan will be.

Shiva in Steel

by Fred Saberhagen

Published 31 December 1998

A master of science fiction, fantasy, and horror, Saberhagen is one of the most gifted novelists of our time. Now, in Shiva in Steel, he returns to the riveting saga of the Berserkers, a race of intelligent machines devoted to exterminating all organic life.In a sector of the Galaxy occupied by Earth-descended people, one Berserker computer has suddenly and mysteriously developed a tactical strategy unlike anything the human opposition has seen before. Shiva, like the Hindu god of destruction after which it was named, annihilates entire colonies with the help of its fiendish subordinates. When a decision is made to destroy the destroyer, neither side is prepared for the incredible risks that emerge as the attack becomes imminent. Can either side face the possibility that something wholly unexpected and eerily familiar lies gnarled within the steel?

Rogue Berserker

by Fred Saberhagen

Published 4 January 2005

Harry Silver has already had a lifetime of trouble from ordinary Berserkers, the automated killing machines programmed eons ago to denude the galaxy of life. Now when his own family is kidnapped, he faces a deviant machine, a good fit for some or all of the Galactic Dictionary's definitions of Rogue: (1) A deceitful, double-dealing evildoer...(4) A fierce elephant or stamodont that has been banished from the herd...(10) Having a peculiarly malevolent or unstable nature...(11) No longer loyal, affiliated, or recognized, and hence not governable or accountable...erring, apostate. - Galactic Dictionary of the Common Tongue. Ordinary Berserkers armed with weapons powerful enough to kill an entire planet were enough of a nightmare. What worse deviltry will a killing machine gone rogue attempt-and even if Silver can stop it, will he ever see his family alive again?

Berserker Kill

by Fred Saberhagen

Published 1 September 1993

Long, long ago...two alien races fought a war of extinction. All that is left of either of them are the Berserkers: vast, thinking, space-faring, killer machines whose sole purpose is to destroy all living things. For the first time in all of their history, they have met a life form that has a chance of stopping them. In the cold reaches of space, the Berserkers seize a floating laboratory full of human germ-plasm-stored for retrieval and growth in a future colonization project. But the ship contains millions of human lives. Why are the Berserkers not destroying them? And will the human pursuers manage to find the missing lab, defeat the Berserkers, and save the nascent lives? A major Berserker novel - one of Saberhagen's finest - with one hell of a surprise up its sleeve. In addition to the enormously popular Berserker series, Fred Saberhagen is the author of the bestselling Books of Swords and Lost Swords, as well as the chilling adventures (including A Question of Time) of the gentleman known as Dracula. He is one of the most popular writers in America today.
