Leviathan, a monstrous berserker killing machine glowing with a mysterious blue aura, is menacing the Milkpail Nebula. Following on a long history of destruction, the great blue berserker’s latest strike annihilated the colony Shubra. Among Shubra’s many victims is spaceship captain Niles Domingo’s daughter. Now the great berserker has taken every member of Niles’ family and the captain will have his revenge.
Setting out with only his ship and crew, Niles intends to hunt down the giant killer. With the cooperation of three distinct human life themes, Niles may have a chance for his revenge. But living for revenge has a price, a very high price.
Publishers Weekly - A. Reviewer
In this latest novel, Saberhagen draws on such epics of vengeance as THE SEARCHERS and MOBY DICK. The loss of his family and of his left leg drives Niles Domingo to pursue the immense berserker known as Old Blue or Leviathan. Although he succeeds, his fanaticism transforms him into an inhuman acolyte of the the godlike machine, a role that comes to define Domingo's purpose and existence. One of the best entries in the series.

Quick, good read. A story of obsession that is quite like Moby Dick in parts.
amazon - Trent Schaaf
Simply put, this book is about a father's misplaced quest for revenge against the murderer of his daughter. The same things that made Moby Dick such a good read apply here as well. Characters who are developed to the point that you can relate to them on a personal level, strong intermediate story about the quest for revenge, and a titanic ending, with a very interesting twist. In this one, Ahab wins, twice in fact, but at the cost of his soul. Fantastic read.

An exhilirating thrill ride in an exotic setting. This is a great Berserker book … the revelation of one of the Milkpail nebula's big mysteries, and the heartpounding extended climax when the man, Niles Domingo, finally goes head to head with his long sought after arch enemey, the Berserker Leviathan. … a shell-shocking surprise ending. What a rush!
… Exactly the kind of thing I love about the Berserker series.
Get your hands on this one if you can!
amazon - Michael Valdivielso
A story about one man and one berserker, out in the middle of space, fighting to the death (if a machine can be killed). If you are a Berserker fan, this is a book you have to have.
