n a world where the slightest edge can mean the difference between success and failure, Leisha Camden is beautiful, extraordinarily intelligent ... and one of an ever-growing number of human beings who have been genetically modified to never require sleep.
Once considered interesting anomalies, now Leisha and the other "Sleepless" are outcasts -- victims of blind hatred, political repression, and shocking mob violence meant to drive them from human society ... and, ultimately, from Earth itself.
But Leisha Camden has chosen to remain behind in a world that envies and fears her "gift" -- a world marked for destruction in a devastating conspiracy of freedom ... and revenge.

Long ago, in a distant part of the galaxy, two alien races met—and fought a war of mutual extinction. The sole legacy of that war was the weapon that ended it: the death machines, the BERSERKERS. Guided by self-aware computers more intelligent than any human, these world-sized battle craft carved a swath of death through the galaxy—until they arrived at the outskirts of the fledgling Empire of Man.These are the stories of the frail creatures who must meet this monstrous and implacable enemy—and who, by fighting it to a standstill, become the saviors of all living things.This is Saberhagen's classic book length collection of the first eleven Berserker stories. Meet Berserker hunter extraordinaire Johann Karlsen, his evil brother Felipe Nogara, The Third Historian of the Carmpan Race, gallant fighters of the killer machines and the deranged killer machine, Mr. Jester.

For countless millennia the dreadful Berserker fleets have ranged across the galaxy in a relentless war against all things living. Their equally relentless opponent has been the human race, with it's heritage and instinct of battle, facing the enemy of all life. Here are four battles in the war between humans and the powerful death machines. Berserker's planet; A lone rebel, armed only with medieval weaponry, hasn't a chance against a mighty Berserker-or does he? The Berserker Throne: An exiled prince plans to use a Berserker and return to power-but can a mere human really control a Berserker? Brother Assassin: The Berserkers reach back through time to change history and only man has a prayer of stopping them. Berserker Man: This time, the killer machines may succeed in eradicating humanity from the galaxy-unless they can be stopped by a child who is half man and half machine.
