The space-opera phenomenon in Poland! It is the mid-24th century. After colonizing a significant portion of Orion's Arm, humanity encounters an advanced alien civilization, which-unwilling to make contact-starts a total war.

The colony in the Ulietta System hides a much bigger secret, though-one that could possibly alter the course of the war. Book two in The Fields of Long-Forgotten Battles series.…mehr

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."
