The real name of the author is Irina Koblova. The cycle “Tales of the Long Earth” includes six stories and two novels. It was all written randomly, and the novel “Seekers of the Past” was written earlier than everything else, back in 2004-2005, but then I finalized it, so at the end it says 2004-2011. The genre, relatively speaking, is fantasy. There are cross-cutting characters, so it is advisable (though not necessary) to read in this order (according to the chronology of events): • The Last Portal, 2007 • The Lost Caravan, 2009 • The Nurse, 2008 • Disaster number one, 2008-2009 • Station Bespechny Bereg, 2005 • Hospitable land of nightmares, 2009-2010 • Seekers of the past, 2004-2011 • Business trip into a trap, 2011 Stories of the cycle, with the exception of the closing one , were published in Eksmo collections, and the novel “The Hospitable Land of Nightmares” was also published there. All this was published under the pseudonym “Anton Orlov.”

Three young people: a boy and two girls, who make a living by participating in PR campaigns, went on a tourist trip to a parallel world. The entire tourist group was outraged by their arrogant behavior. Deep down, everyone dreamed that this trio would somehow “accidentally” fall behind the group and get lost in the crazy jungle. And soon they were deliberately “forgotten” in the village hotel...

Lerka arrived on Long Earth as a student exchange student and had no intention of participating in the local sinister intrigues. Moreover, unlike our Primordial Earth, magic operates here, and magical creatures hostile to humans also live here, so any attempt to get involved in the local showdown is fraught with very significant troubles. However, the Summer Sovereign, the head of the Long Earth, decided to pay a visit to the Abundance-Nikes supermarket, where Lerka worked part-time, and from that moment on, intrigues and troubles fell like a cornucopia. Moreover, on a serious scale: losing your life in the beginning of the game is not the worst thing that can happen...

The Long Earth is a parallel magical world. The main character, Zalman, remembers almost nothing about himself, and Sandra, who has been in love with him since childhood, is looking for and cannot find a way to cure him of amnesia. One day, having visited an abandoned house where they lived a long time ago, Sandra finds an old diary that Zalman kept when he was in his right mind, and what she read gives her a crazy idea... Sandra is still the same - from “Disaster” number one” and “Nurses”, and she is also the Summer Ruler in “The Hospitable Land of Nightmares”...

More from the author: “Seekers of the Past” is an unformatted text, since it is not action-packed (action is present only in the third part) . I’m posting it especially for those who liked “Tales of the Long Earth.” “A Business Trip into a Trap” is the final story in the “Tales of the Long Earth” series.
