The author began his creative career in literature with prose, writing stories about geologists, historical and adventure works (“Stolen Pledge”, 1962). The first SF publication was “Error” (1964). In 1979, the Ural Pathfinder magazine published Yevgeny Gulyakovsky’s novel “Season of Fogs,” which became one of the first Soviet works in the space action genre and was soon published as a separate edition in the Young Guard. In 1968, Evgeny Gulyakovsky graduated from the Higher Screenwriting Courses; The films “Above the Desert Sky” and “Mountain Station” were produced based on his scripts.  Themes of SF works by Gulyakovsky, an active representative of the so-called. “Young Guard school” - do not go beyond the standard set: the heroism of space exploration, contact, meeting with exotic representatives of extraterrestrial life; sometimes thoughtless adventures are colored by specific ideological “overtones” characteristic of the specified “school”.
