Berserker Kill

Summary: A little long winded, but worth it if you're a Berserker nut
Review: I love Berserker stories, but I felt this novel sort of dragged through the human sub plots. There's a heck of a suprise in the last fifty pages or so that made it worth reading, but when I re-read it I skimmed through a lot of it. Sorry, Fred..

Summary: Rather lacking ...
Review: I must disagree with the other reviewers - While I DO like the berserker saga, simple fandom-appeal is no excuse for shoddy quality. The book IS too long, in many parts repeats itself ( you often get the same train of thought in three or four slightly different variations ), the plot confusing ( not complex, confusing ) and the characters come across as stilted. Still, it had enough nice ideas for me to finish it.

Summary: Go Berserkers!!
Review: I've gotta admit, I LOVE Saberhagen's Berserkers, and THIS one has gotta be the best. Buy, read, or steal it soon. It's just really cool. Even though it is a bit longer than most of the others(Berserker novels), I ended up wanting more in the end.

Summary: Excellent, epic space adventure, featuring Berserkers.
Review: The longest and most complex and ambitious of Saberhagen's Berserker stories, this one carries the weight well. He weaves together a larger varied cast of human and non-human characters, using them to investigate the grand theme of the Berserker tales: the boundaries between human and non-human. Intriguing characters include various ordinary folk, a cyborg combat pilot last seen in Berserker Man, an AI personality impinging on the real world, a disembodied human in simulated world, and a serial killer. But the situations dominate: why have Berserkers stolen a biological laboratory ship? The ride is fascinating, the problems, compelling, and the denoument, a treat, rich in the sense of wonder that first attacts fans to the genre

Summary: A Berserker Mystery!
Review: Why are the Berserkers suddenly NOT killing people? What are they up to? Sure, the book is a tad long, but when you realize Berserkers are fighting each other, you want to know WHY! The answer is worth the wait.
