What to expect
Master storyteller Fred Saberhagen continues his bestselling Berserker series, detailing humanity’s war with the dreaded juggernaut-like machines programmed to destroy all life in the galaxy.
On the Twin World planets, Prairie and Timber, Plenipotentiary Gregor is determined to serve his government—even if it means executing innocent Huvean hostages, invaders from another planet—and even though Gregor’s own granddaughter, Luon, is in love with a Huvean. But now the Berserkers are threatening the Twin Worlds, capturing the planets’ president and reprogramming his brain to suit their violent agenda. And only the Huveans, in a desperate reprieve, can save the Twin Worlds’ populace from annihilation.
Critics Review
-
“The Berserkers…attain a kind of perverse stature that makes them worthy stand-ins for the dark side of human nature.”
New York Times
-
“The Berserker stories are war stories, but war stories in the tradition of The Red Badge of Courage and All Quiet on the Western Front.”
Baltimore Evening Sun
-
“Saberhagen’s Berserkers are not only a great literary invention, they also reflect our deep and real concerns about technology run amok.”
Jack Williamson
