Synopsis

The war against the Berserkers continues on a remote world where civilization has regressed to a primitive state. Generations removed from advanced technology, the inhabitants struggle to survive in a harsh environment while legends of the deadly machine enemy persist.

When ancient secrets begin to emerge and the true nature of the planet’s history is revealed, humanity once again faces the threat of the Berserkers. The battle becomes one of survival, courage, and rediscovery as primitive warriors and scattered survivors confront an enemy born from forgotten technology.

EugeneBookstore Summary:

Berserker’s Planet takes Fred Saberhagen’s famous machine-war saga in a new direction by blending planetary adventure with classic Berserker action. Mixing sword-and-planet elements with military science fiction, the novel explores what happens when humanity loses its technological edge yet still finds the strength to resist extinction. It remains one of the more unique entries in the long-running Berserker universe.

Collector Notes:

This novel is the third major installment in the Berserker Saga and is notable for combining post-collapse adventure with the series’ ongoing conflict against the killer machines. The Boris Vallejo cover artwork is especially popular with collectors of vintage science fiction paperbacks. Early Ace paperback editions are sought after by fans of Fred Saberhagen and collectors of classic military science fiction.
