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 extinct, 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 eradicate all life. The death machines have harried their way across our galaxy. Now they have come for us. But humans are anything but easy prey . . . Three complete novels set in this seemingly endless war against death itself.
The Berserker Wars: Despatches, battles, setbacks, and victories in the millennium-long battle between humans and the killing machines, woven into a seeping saga, with heroes, cowards, villains and even a prankster sharing the stage in the desperate struggle for survival.
Berserker: Blue Death: The colony on Shubra had been annihilated by the great blue Berserker that men called Leviathan, and Niles Domingo's daughter was on that colony. Obsessed with the need for vengeance at any cost, he set out, tracking Leviathan through the mists of the Milkpail Nebula. But his pursuit would be neither simple nor straightforward, and he had no suspicion of the strange turn his quest was about to take.
Berserker Kill: Once again, a Berserker attacks-but instead of destroying all life in its path, this one steals an orbiting biological lab filled with human zygotes, then wipes out all pursuers. The Berserker's plan for using the lab is completely unknown-but the humans and a lonely Artificial Intelligence assigned to the case are certain that it can only be very bad news for the beleaguered human race.
