Askold Vitalievich was once a great astronaut who flew around the length and breadth of space. However, even great people sooner or later have to retire. But how can you sit still if your soul demands exciting adventures? And one such thing turned up by chance. And it all started with the fact that the astronaut’s nephew Petenka fell in love. And not in someone there, but in the Most Perfect One in time and space! True, the young man didn’t know her name, what she looked like, or where she lived... But this is even more interesting! In the company of his nephew, a couple of friends, the cat Meowka and the old robot Kuzma, Askold Vitalievich goes in search of a mysterious stranger. And it doesn’t matter how many dangers they encounter along the way, because, as we know, when it comes to love, brave travelers don’t care about slippery space ice or hot stars! No less exciting adventures happened with the heroes of two other stories - “On Foot Above the Clouds” and “Savior of the Ocean,” also included in this collection. And the book was decorated with fantastic illustrations, like the stories themselves, by artists Heinrich Valk and Ekaterina Borozdina.
