The weapons now plagued the universe following a single mandate: kill all life, especially earth descended human life.  Harry Silver, spaceman extraordinaire, has a well earned reputation as the galaxies most successful Berserker fighter. However, recently during a battle with Berserkers, he lost his beloved starship The Witch of Endor. Mr. Cheng, one of the universes wealthiest businessmen, is offering Harry the ship of his dreams, if Harry will undertake an almost certainly suicidal hostage rescue mission.

Battles of wit and cunning accompany Harry’s struggles.

Long ago, in a distant part of the galaxy, two alien races met - and fought a war of mutual extinction. The sole legacy of that war was the weapon that ended it: the death machines, the BERSERKERS. Guided by self-aware computers more intelligent than any human, these world-sized battle craft carved a swath of death through the galaxy - until they arrived at the outskirts of the fledgling Empire of Man. These are the stories of the frail creatures who must meet this monstrous and implacable enemy - and who, by fighting it to a standstill, become the saviors of all living things. With help from wherever they can find it, including World War I fighters and stomatopods, earth descended humans face the ultimate enemy of all life. A Saberhagen classic book length collection of the nine Berserker stories: The Smile, Pressure, The Annihilation Of Angkor Apeiron, Inhuman Error, Some Events At The Templar Radiant, Starsong, Smasher, The Game, Wings Out Of Shadow.

The Empress of the Eight Worlds has been assassinated. Prince Harivarman, exiled on the Templar Radiant, suspects that he will be the next victim. Help is scarce: Anne Blenheim, the fortress' clear-eyed, fair Commander, is favorably disposed toward the Prince, but her first responsibility is to the Templar High Command. And Chen Shizuoka, a Templar recruit sympathetic to Harivarman's cause, is being stalked by planetary security forces. When Prince Harivarman discovers an operable Berserker–one of the asteroid-sized, spacefaring war machines that once destroyed their makers and all other life in their path–his first instinct is to turn it in. But then he finds an ancient code that will either allow him to control the dreaded machine or lead him–and everyone else on the Templar Radiant–to certain death.
