Talking about the collection “Phantom” by Igor Getmansky is a difficult task. With other books by other authors it’s easier than ever - you should write “this is our Heinlein” or something like “finally there is a worthy domestic answer to Dan Brown.” And the trick is in the bag. But with Igor Getmansky everything is much more complicated. He rarely inherits the features of recognizable authors. His works are always original from beginning to end. It is difficult to predict how events will turn out in a particular story or novel. For example, in the first story “Transformers” the reader is immediately offered only the planet Zoil, which is being developed, where unique animals live - serfids, in whose excrement, sorry, there are substances that can become a universal medicine for all humanity. And on such shaky ground as hunting for excrement, Igor Getmansky builds a powerful and exciting adventure-fantasy quest. And most importantly - with good and unobtrusive humor and a smile. What’s remarkable is that the ending promises to be a real surprise. The “Phantom” collection is maintained at the same quality level. The author is honest with his readers and has saved only “tasty” things for them. CONTENTS: Transformers (story). All's well that ends well (story). Paradoxes of coherence (story).
