What's more, they've overcome their one weakness-no faster-than-light travel-and have followed humanity through our star gates and beyond. But humans are the master of adaption, and have got a counterpunch of devastating proportions in reserve. Now a hard-bitten and brilliant admiral must face down renewed alien attack and somehow communicate to the enemy that if he is forced to use his ultimate military option, galactic civilization itself may come to a fiery end.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout \u003ci\u003eExtremis\u003c\/i\u003e: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Vivid. . .Battle sequences mingle with thought-provoking exegesis . . .\"-\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout Steve White and David Weber's \u003ci\u003eThe Shiva Option\u003c\/i\u003e: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"[Leaves] the reader both exhilarated and enriched.\" -\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout Steve White: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"White offers fast action and historically informed world-building.\"-\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout Steve White's \u003ci\u003eForge of the Titans\u003c\/i\u003e: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\". . . recalls the best of the John Campbell era of SF.
