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.

From AudioFile:

In a swarm of asteroid-sized, machine-like undead, theBerserkers flow into human space once again, and again their object isannihilation of all life. The humans create a weapon of subtlety andpower: a body suit/ shield/ hammer/ mind-expander/ energy-blaster. Butit is suited only to special warriors, and our young hero is the firstexemplar. Barrett Whitener captures Fred Saberhagen's humanity andemotion. His subtle narration carries each scene in crisp, breathydetail. Science fiction rarely gets better than this as we imaginewhat it's like to be alone among the stars. D.R.W. � AudioFile2001, Portland, Maine-- Copyright � AudioFile, Portland, Maine
