Berserker's Planet
Berserker's Planet | Fred Saberhagen
1 post | 2 read
Five hundred years have passed since the combined fleets of humanity met and broke the berserker armada at Stone Place. But though the human victory was total, one of the killer machines--weaponless, its star drive a ruin--managed to limp to a secret sanctuary on a planet called Hunter's World. Over the years, a new cult has arisen there, a cult dedicated to Death as the only and ultimate Good.

Berserker's Planet | Fred Saberhagen

Pickpick

(1975) A party from Earth visits Hunter's Planet for a hunting vacation. Their visit coincides with a planet-wide gladiatorial tournament, and they drop in to spectate. But the contest turns out to be a front for a plot of the Berserkers, machines devoted to destroying all life in the universe. The story is pretty good, though Saberhagen's ideas about women haven't quite caught up to the 1970's.
