Summary "The Berserker" by Charles V. De Vet is a science fiction novel likely written in the early 1950s. The story focuses on themes of survival, identity, and the conflict between different worlds, as it follows the protagonist, Big Jim Ostby, an operative sent to confront an alien menace threatening Earth. Set in an alternate dimension, the book combines elements of adventure and suspense, showcasing a richly constructed world where the stakes are high for both Ostby and the inhabitants of this strange land. In summary, the narrative centers around Jim Ostby's dangerous journey in a world where he must navigate a complex web of deceit, law enforcement, and alien oppressors. Captured and tortured by the local police, Ostby relies on his wit and physical prowess to escape and fulfill his mission of closing the "door" between the two worlds—a portal created by an alien intelligence. His encounters with various characters, including the assertive Duchess Rinda and the cunning crime lord Siggen, highlight both the external threats he faces and his internal struggles with trust and identity. Ultimately, Ostby grapples with his origins, discovering that the battle he has taken on is not just against those who threaten his home planet, but also against the conflicting facets of his own history and loyalty.
