Long ago, a vanished alien civilization created the Berserkers—self-aware war machines programmed with a single purpose: the extermination of all life. Across the galaxy, human beings and their allies struggle to survive against these relentless mechanical killers.
This collection of interconnected stories chronicles humanity’s desperate battles against the Berserkers as courageous individuals, military forces, and entire worlds confront an enemy that neither negotiates nor shows mercy. The conflict spans generations and star systems, forming one of science fiction’s most enduring wars between humanity and machine intelligence.
