The Book of Saberhagen | Fred Saberhagen

1 post | 1 read | 1 to read

No one who has ever read one of Fred Saberhagen's Berserker stories will forget the premise: a robotic culture with but one overriding directive -- to destroy all sentient life wherever it is encountered. How do you counter such an enemy, who cannot be compromised, as no favors, gives no quarter, and is not afraid of death because it is not alive? Saberhagen has shown many of the atomising turns such a combat might take, and the reader will find such here. But not all the tales in THE BOOK OF SABERHAGEN are Berserker tales -- not even half. For this author is equally inventive in many directions and his name is a guarantee of originality in science fiction. THE BOOK OF SABERHAGEN is a welcome addition to the acclaimed series of authors' own selections.

The Book of Saberhagen | Fred Saberhagen

so-so

Stories by Fred Saberhagen, including three set in his Berserker universe. The stories are short on plot and character but the better ones are wrapped around an intriguing idea or puzzle. Favorites include "The long way home," which offers a mind-boggling premise for a generation ship; and the Berserker story "WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO TO PROVE IM HUMAN STOP" whose title presents the puzzle.
