Book Review:

The Berserker Wars

By Fred Saberhagen

Reviewed by Russ Lockwood


Tor, 1981, $2.95, ISBN: 0-523-48520-4, 399 pages, paperback

This collection of short stories extends the Berserker trilogy about a race of death-dealing robots coming for us humans. Most stories were published in the 1960s; some as late as 1979.

As you’d expect, some are more interesting than others. Some include time travel and thus read like a fantasy plot.

I’m not a fan of short stories--I prefer novels--but the stories within were OK.
