Ok, what other forms of Science Fiction can beat back an ivasion of Fred Saberhagen's Berzerkers?

That's right this is a larger force then the one Von-Nueman Machine vs. Borg idea.

Culture, Xeelee, Lattice (my own story setting), Vinge's Powers, Asimov's Empire and Foundation, possibly EU-assisted Wars, Assassins, OBS. :) And quite likely a lot more.
It's not my place in life to make people happy. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to watch me slaughter cows you hold sacred. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to have your basic assumptions challenged. If you want bunnies in light, talk to someone else.

Who are Fred Saberhagen's Berzerkers?? Are they anything like the Berzerkers of Khorne from Warhammer 40K???

Robotic Weapons (Full Von Neuman Capable) which means their like a cross between World Devestators and Deathstars. They have been programed to exterminate all life. And go about doing it in a very erratic but semi effeciant fasion (Achiellies heal: A Tactics Randomization subrutine designed to make them Unpredictable often makes them do very stupid things)

The fourth Empire would kill them easily I think. The size of their military is incredible and their "ships" should be easily powerful enough to deal with a Berserker.
