A recognized master of Russian science fiction...A writer who made his debut forty years ago with the story “A Special Necessity” - and with all his work proved that the literary ideals of science fiction of the 60s. are still alive. A writer whose creative style turned out to be so impeccable that it has stood the test of time - and whose books are read now as easily and excitingly as many years ago... That's just a little that can be said about Vladimir Dmitrievich Mikhailov. Don't believe me? Read it and see for yourself!
