The berserker wars
Fred Saberhagen (Author), Franco Storchi (Illustrator)
"It happened long ago and far away. Perhaps in this galaxy, perhaps in one close by. Two war-maddened races fought, and though both are gone, their legacy abides: the Frankenstein weapon that destroyed not only the enemy, but the creator. The Berserkers, robotic, asteroid-sized killers program[m]ed to one purpose: to seek out and end life. The death machines have harried their way across our galaxy. Now they have come for us."--Page [4] of cover
