Dina Bakulina’s first two books—“The Cat from the Danish Kingdom” and “Why Squash Live”—quickly and unmistakably found their reader. Diverse, filled with gentle humor, lively stories about the kind-hearted owner of an antique shop Lyuba and her extraordinary cat, about the colorful old man Glen, about endlessly quarreling and making up friends Snezhana and Angela found a response in the hearts of many people. In some of the heroes of these books, most readers recognized with surprise and joy their acquaintances, friends, and even themselves. Because the heroes of Dina Bakulina’s books are ourselves, living here and now. Today Dina Bakulina presents her Reader with a new semi-fantastic story “The Flight of the Renegade.” The action of this story takes place in a completely different world, distant in time and setting from us, or maybe it takes place in a completely different dimension. But in what exact place and dimension the heroes of “The Flight of the Renegade” live, fight and win, the dear Reader will have to find out and decide for himself.
