Where is the turning point at which Timothy’s life turned away from its usual path? Here he is waiting for bus number twelve. In the morning. And the next morning too. Goes to school, after school, to see friends. To the dance. Sometimes for competitions: city, regional, all-Russian. Communicates on social networks. Goes to bed. And where, where in this graph is that moment after which nothing will be the same? And where is the turning point in Marina’s life? After classes, go straight home. Not leaving the house again. And what to do there, outside the house, in a noisy world, where you, unlike others, don’t hear a sound? Marina rarely meets people from this world, except in the morning, on bus number twelve... “Bifurcation Point” is a realistic, psychologically reliable and deep book, completely focused on the present: on our time, on a unique moment in life, on emotions. Here and now". Readers are already familiar with the dystopia of Svetlana and Nikolai Ponomarev “City Without War”, written in tandem, and soon the CompassGuide publishing house will publish the fantastic story “290 million years and beyond”, in which Nikolai Ponomarev will send his heroes to the distant past. Nikolay Ponomarev, both solo and in a duet with Svetlana, is accessible to any genre, and this makes his talent unique.
