Berserker Throne

Berserkers are ancient, legendary machines of death that annihilated their makers. They destroy all life wherever they find it.
The Empress of the Eight Worlds has been assassinated, and Prince Harivarman, an unwilling exile, knows he will be next. On the Templar Radiant he discovers a deactivated berserker — an operable one and perhaps even the code that controls the berserkers.
Dare he unleash berserkers on his political enemy?

Berserker Throne is set in the same world as Saberhagen’s shortstory ‘Some Events At The Templar Radiant.’ The story appears in the collection Berserker Wars.
