Captain Uldemir. Lord. Mikhailov V.D.

The classic of Russian science fiction Vladimir Mikhailov in literature began as a poet. And from poetry to science fiction is one step - there are enough examples of this. His first fantastic experience, the story “Special Necessity”, came for a success. Gagarin’s flight, “Well, let's go!”, The approach of the cosmos to a person, enthusiastic crowds on the streets... Fantasy overnight from yesterday’s literary Cinderella turned into a fabulous firebird, and science fiction writers from the close framework of “second-hand literature” entered a wide highway.

A galaxy of wonderful masters from Efremov and the Strugatsky brothers to Gansovsky, Savchenko, Gurevich, Larionova, Bulychev (you can continue for a long time) enriched the fantastic genre. And one of the most noticeable in this constellation was a star named Vladimir Mikhailov. The cycle about Captain Uldemir belongs to the best works of the writer.

In the first book of the cycle, “The Watchman of My Brother”, the author puts the problem of choice in front of the heroes (and readers). The outbreak of supernova, which threatens the earth with the total death of mankind, is quite possible to nullify, extinguishing an explosive wave for the developed technologies of the future. But in the vicinity of the star there is a planet Dal, inhabited by immigrants from the ground. The chances of a successful evacuation of its population are extremely small, and in the case of an unsuccessful attempt, they will burn in the flame and land and distance.

Earthlings will have to make a difficult choice: to leave the brothers by blood to the mercy of fate in order to preserve the land, or to take a chance, putting a native planet. And if you choose the second, who will go to such an unprecedented risk? The choice fell on people from the past - Captain Uldemir and the crew of his star ship...

“Then come and reason” - the direct continuation of the “watchman”. This time, Captain Uldemir is faced with the task of stopping the madmen living on neighboring planets, prevent them from destroying each other in nuclear heat. The plot of the "Lord", continuing the cycle about Captain Uldemir, is also based on war. But this war is completely different from those who since ancient times lead reasonable and unreasonable inhabitants of the universe.

the claims of the ruler of the planet Assart do not apply to neighboring territories. He needs someone else's story to redraw it by his mind, having become the ruler of time.
