SERVANT OF DEATH
Fred Thomas Saberhagen, born in Chicago, Illinois on May 18, 1930. Saberhagen served as an enlisted man in the U.S. Air Force during the Korean War while he was in his early twenties. Back in civilian life, he worked as an electronics technician for the Motorola Corporation from 1958 to 1962.
It was while he was working for Motorola that Saberhagen started writing fiction seriously, at the age of about 29. His first sale was to Galaxy Science Fiction, which published his short story “Volume PAA-PYX” in 1961. Saberhagen is best known for his “Berserker” series which began with the short story “Fortress Ship”, published in If in January 1963. In 1964, Saberhagen saw the publication of his first novel, The Golden People.
Saberhagen also wrote a series of vampire novels in which the famous Dracula is the main protagonist, and a series of post-apocalyptic mytho-magical novels beginning with his popular Empire of the East and continuing through a long series of Swords and Lost Swords novels.
From 1967 to 1973, he worked as an editor for the Chemistry articles in the Encyclopedia Britannica as well as writing its article on science fiction. He then quit and took up writing full-time.
He married fellow writer Joan Spicci in 1968. They had two sons and a daughter. In 1975, they moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico.
In his adult years Fred Saberhagen was a practicing Catholic; indications of his faith appear from time-to-time in his writing.
On June 29, 2007, Fred Saberhagen died of prostate cancer in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
