Edge of Extinction

Edge of Extinction

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….

About the Author
Robert J. Szmidt

Robert J. Szmidt is a novelist, translator, and a former editor in chief of the following monthly magazines: Video Business, PlayStation Plus, Science Fiction and Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror—all of which appeared between 1992-2012. He made his literary debut in the 1980s, then his career path veered into other areas and yet he has never forgotten his roots. At the turn of the century, he went back to writing and founded his by now cult Science Fiction magazine, thus initiating a revival of interest in Polish SF. He has published more than twenty novels, a few novellas and over twenty short stories. He’s also made an appearance in a number of anthologies.

A wiz at post-apocalyptic fiction, he is—not without grounds—called The Destroyer of Worlds.
