“A little more caviar, or Encounters with the unknown.” The stories of one of the best French science fiction writers, Claude Veillot, are permeated by a core idea: a person in Space is constantly faced with an encounter with the unknown, and in this encounter he is not always the winner. However, an exciting, action-packed narrative is still not the main thing in the writer’s work. His stories provide an opportunity to reflect on many things - both about universal human problems and deeply intimate ones.
