pick(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.
#NuYear #day4 #Berserker Dorian is a dhampir, half vampire-half human, which means she is subject to “berserker” rages, rages where she blanks out & kills everyone in range. This is a spin off series from Karen Chance‘s Cassie Palmer books, Dorina is the daughter of Cassie‘s vampire lover Mircea & his first human wife. It‘s a really fun series to read, it‘s snarky, witty & a great palate cleanser.
The rook figure from the 12th-century Lewis Chessmen is a little shield-biting #Berserker .

#NuYear #berserker I was stuck on this tag until I googled 'books with berserkers' & who knew?! These are some faves for various reasons-the cover of the first, the tag line of the second: "White Snow-Red Blood-Black Rage." The fact there's a Reluctant Berserker & Iriya the Berserker's sense of style. Then there's a whole saga of Berserker ménage books "Mated to" "Bonded to" "Sold to"...that's where Berserker Babies come from!?#litsyisforlearning

While reading this morning I spied Miss Willa. She was watching the birds on the feeder when 3 neighbors showed up causing her to go #berserker. 😬 sorry - it‘s the best I could come up with. 😁 #nuyear
Some disturbing experiments on animals to make them more human via vivisection resulting in much pain and cruelty led to some ‘animal characters‘ going berserk.
