White and Gannon Go Extremis

Steve White and Chuck Gannon grill each other mercilessly (but with good humor) on their new Starfire saga collaboration, Extremis, and what it takes to continue a space-warfare SF series that has seen such bestselling masterworks as In Death Ground and The Shiva Option.

Check out the White & Gannon Q&A here.
