When the ruthless aliens attack the outer reaches of the Federation, Humankind is forced to retreat haphazardly from dozens of conquered systems. The only chance to delay the advance of the enemy is to create hundreds of fake colonies. If that doesn't work, the Fleet will be forced to face the ma'lahn in a series of open battles, which can lead to its annihilation. Politicians, however, do not care about the consequences. Their goal is to preserve power, even at the cost of billions of lives. The headquarters of the third metasector must meet the requirements of the Council on the one hand, and prevent the destruction of the only force that is able to defend Humankind on the other. But this war has another-human and personal-dimension: Major Darski must fight to save the colonists that he left on Ulietta.... Edge of Extinction is book three in The Fields of Long-Forgotten Battles series.

Autorenporträt
Renowned Polish author Robert J. Szmidt is a novelist, translator, and a former editor in chief of Video Business, PlayStation Plus, Science Fiction and Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror magazines. Szmidt's flagship novel series (a major bestseller in Poland) is a five-part space opera, The Fields of Long-Forgotten Battles.He made his literary debut in the 1980s, and although his career path veered into other areas, he has never forgotten his roots. In the early 2000s, he went back to writing and has published more than twenty novels, a few novellas, and over twenty short stories. A wiz at post-apocalyptic fiction, he is (not without grounds) called The Destroyer of Worlds. In The Apocalypse According to Sir John, first published in 2003, Szmidt foretold the Ukraine crisis and its likely consequences. His other post-apocalyptic fiction works include Solitariness of the Angel of Doom, and The Rats of Wroclaw series (Chaos, Prison Bars, and Hospital), which was adapted into a 13-episode audio series.Szmidt has travelled widely, crossed three oceans, and visited five continents. He is a prolific translator with a dozen video games, as well as almost one hundred books under his belt. He created two Polish science fiction awards and founded a website, fantastykapolska.pl, offering free access to the library counting nearly one thousand Polish SF novels, novellas, and short stories.He is married and lives with his wife in the bucolic region of Poland called the Polish Jurassic Highland, where he can admire elegant ammonites in his back yard. He says, "When you commune with the past on a regular basis, you must have your mind on the future-for anyway, a hundred fifty million years is no more than the blink of an eye."
