Destroyer is a pulpy sci-fi thriller wherein:

The American Alliance army recruits scientists Dr. Steiner and his daughter, Eva, to build a superweapon to end the long war with the Russo-Chinese Coalition. The towering cyborg they create possesses the image of a dragon, the brain tissue of a once-living T-Rex, and the weaponry of an entire army. Dubbed “Rex-1,” the cyborg’s mission is to destroy military targets in Moscow. Closely followed by its creators and military commanders and controlled by telepathic technology, Rex-1 wreaks havoc on the Russians, smiting them like a demonic god. Then the unthinkable happens: Rex-1 goes berserk, defying all orders, and attacks the ship transporting the Americans. Crashing behind enemy lines in the heart of Moscow, Dr. Steiner and his group are caught in the middle of Rex-1’s rampage. Now with distrust and madness tearing his fellow survivors apart, Dr. Steiner has only one goal: DESTROY REX-1! This new deluxe edition features the bonus story “House of the Living” by Nick Hayden, presented here in print for the first time!

Can you guess which Godzilla film inspired the story?

You can read “Chapter 6: Berserk” of the novella on a previous blog on podcast website.

Merry Christmas!
