Fred Saberhagen

Berserker Kill (Berserker Series, Book 9) Fred Saberhagen Unabridged edition

[Read by Paul Michael Garcia]

This is a major 'Berserker' novel --one of Saberhagen's finest --with one hell of a surprise up its sleeve.

Long, long ago, two alien races fought a war of extinction. All that is left of either of them are the Berserkers: vast, thinking, spacefaring, killer machines whose sole purpose is to destroy all living things. For the first time in all of their history, they have met a life form that has a chance of stopping them.

In the cold reaches of space, the Berserkers seize a floating laboratory full of human germ-plasm being stored for retrieval and growth in a future colonization project. The ship contains millions of human lives -- but why are they not destroying them? Will the human pursuers manage to find the missing lab, defeat the Berserkers, and save the nascent lives?
