Continuing the legendary “Frame”, the Knigovek Book Club is releasing a three-volume set of selected Works by Vasily Golovachev. Three novels by the master of Russian science fiction address the theme of time and its inhabitants, glorified by H.G. Wells and Isaac Asimov. The author's view of the problem of time as a field for the Universal Game is so unusual, and the events are so extraordinary that they will appeal to all fans of science fiction. At the most critical moments in earthly history, the fate of the country and humanity is decided in Russia. This pattern has been repeatedly confirmed by the past, present and even future. And now the existence of not only their home planet, but also hundreds of worlds located on the neighboring Branches of the Tree of Time depends on courageous guys from a harsh and mysterious country. At stake in the Game, which the powerful and indifferent “chronosurgeons” started, is the fate of not only the Metagalaxy, but also Life itself!
