...So, we are flying to the planet of dragons, griffins and dwarves, humans and giants, where mages work magic in black towers, and elves play elegant songs... But not the one you just thought of.

Thus begins the tale of the ancient world of Rynn, where the Dictators arose and became themselves. Novel "Dragon's Wrath" tells about the very beginning of the Age of Dictators - when the future rulers of the Galaxy were only young dragons who knew nothing about their future fate.
"Wrath of the Dragon" covers the time period from 70,000 years before the birth of the first Dictator - to the Cataclysm and subsequent events, ending approximately three hundred years before the birth of Wing Demon (novel "Red Dragon").
In 2000, Wrath of the Dragon was published in two volumes under the titles "Right to rage"(first volume) and"Dragon's Wrath".

Novel "Black Sun Rising", published on paper in October 2001, tells the story of the adventures of a small intelligent lizard named Ree, as well as the gloomy, lonely sorceress Tiamat. The book belongs to the classic "high fantasy" genre, the time of action is about 300 years after the events "Wrath of the Dragon", the place is a neighboring planet, where in the final "AngerDraco and Taiga collapsed. The plot of the novels is practically unrelated.

"Black flame"continues the story of the young veita Ri, and also introduces readers to the fearless warrior Hayate Taiyo, the most wonderful dragon of all that I wrote about.

Chronologically, the story continues the novel "Black flame", she is, as it were, inserted between him and the novel"Red Dragon". Nevertheless, "Battle for the future"is an independent work that does not require familiarity with previous novels.
The action of the story takes place on the planet Warr, eight years after the departure of the lizard Rea into space. The war with the elves ended long ago with the victory of the Dark Forces; Elirania and Arnor are enslaved, Eravia has gone over to the side of the winners. The city of Mages, Ronnenberg, is still turned to stone and many heroes have lost their lives trying to free it. The troops of the deceased Lord are commanded by the red dragon Alizon.
But the elves and people did not reconcile themselves to the rule of the barbarians. In search of a force capable of destroying the invaders and their cruel winged beasts, dragons, two heroes set off on a long journey. An elf and a griffin who have never heard of each other, a hermit and a commander of a flying division, a healer and a soldier, an immortal sage - and an elderly veteran ... Which of them will be able to defeat the dragons and return freedom to their native land? Time will show.
The story explains the background of the novel very well.Red Dragon", which was based on the manuscript of the scarlet Wing, the last dragon in Arnor.

Novel "Red Dragon"completes the story of the planet Warr, introducing the reader to the diaries of the powerful magician Wing and his eternal enemy, the griffin Needle. The same griffin that was born on the same day and hour with Wing, when the Black Sun lit up the sky ...
This book does not continue the history of Ree, Hayate, Altair and Tiamat.

This book is no longer fantasy. "Base of the Rock"is a dystopia, and raises some questions that may seem religious, although in fact they are simply moral. I would like to note that I am a staunch atheist.
If in previous books my characters were, as a rule, much taller and stronger than their surroundings, "Top of the Rock", here I depicted the opposite pole of the world. The inhabitants of the gloomy and cold planet Mortar are timid, weak creatures who have no idea what "war", "rage", "hatred" means... For hundreds of years they have been serving human aliens as slaves and a source of valuable skin.
A primitive tribe of Zorgs, worshiping dragons that rarely visit their planet, suddenly gets their own "messiah", who, being a predator, turns all their ideas about the world upside down. But the hero of the book himself, Hayate's brother, a young dragon named Wind, after spending years in a peaceful and defenseless tribe, changes - and in such a way that he can no longer find a place for himself in the world. An inhabitant of the Top of the Rock, having lived in its Base, is no longer able to conquer the steep slopes. And below is an abyss. Is he destined not to fall?
The book came out very cruel, and the characters are often just a pity. But this is exactly what a realistic thing should look like. At least I think so.

My first 100% sci-fi story is about the discovery of... Stop. If I write what she talks about, it will not be interesting to read.
The story came out quite dark, but dynamic and, in my opinion, fascinating. It is based on an idea that came to me about the driving force of chemical evolution: an idea that I liked so much that I wrote this story.
"The Law of Preservation of Life"Almost unrelated to other books. However, in the story, for the first time after "Wrath of the Dragon", the blue Wolf Arrstar acts, no longer young, but a wise and sad dragon. Together with him, the cheerful emerald Flair returned to the readers. Now, however, not as cheerful as 290 years ago, on Rinne ...
The attentive reader will find in the story a mention of the kidnapping of the two children of the Emperor; these children are none other than the newborn (then) Hayate and her older brother Kael. More about their abduction is told in the story "rock base".

...Once, in a cycle "Dictators"comparatively small novel included"Control shot"- a book written in two days, under the influence of the strongest emotional shock that I experienced when I read the Majipur cycle by R. Silverberg, where dragons are industrially slaughtered for meat. The novel was conceived as anti-war, it was supposed to horrify, intimidate and cause disgust. ..
Alas, as often happens, I greatly overestimated the "readership", and only a few understood the idea of the book. But loud freaks from the fair, dirty-mouthed nationalists, brainless epigones and, in general, such an amount of dirt immediately jumped out into the world that I deleted this book from the cycle and for ten years explained to everyone that it no longer exists, and the events described there - not happened.
In vain. If a person is a pig, he will simply like to swim in the mud, no matter how many times you repeat that the swamp has dried up a long time ago.
I was so tired of it that I decided to put an end to it once and for all. Before you is a new book based on the former novel "Control shot".

In a small coastal village, a girl was born who received the name Fateya. From birth, she was nicknamed a witch, because even a blind man was clear - a red-haired, lanky girl, capable of paralyzing any person with her gaze, can only be a demonic offspring.
However, neither Fateya's parents nor the inquisitors of the holy throne even suspected who she really was. If they knew what the meeting between Fatea and the wandering warrior Kai would lead to...
...This book would never have been written.
Between the eventsblack flame"and this novel darkens the abyss of 1500 years."East of Eden" can be perceived as a completely separate work, associated with the cycle only by the presence of a pair of dragons.

...and then the Dragon came into the world, and the world shuddered, and the rivers froze in horror, and birds fell from heaven, and the stars trembled in the terrified sky. And the Dragon roared, and from His roar the mountains collapsed, and the seas boiled from His gaze, and the forests caught fire from His breath. And where the Dragon looked - there was horror, but the horror was afraid of the Dragon, and fled from Him with a cry. And the Dragon looked at the sky, and the Sun was afraid of His gaze, and hid, trembling, in the depths of the Ocean. And there was no light in the world. Only the eyes of the Dragon shone with fire, and where He looked, there was fire, and rocks collapsed, and new mountains rose on the plains, and the earth trembled from the steps of the Dragon. And where he put his foot - the valley became, and where ...

On the distant planet Warlock, six Black Mages lost the war against humans. The last defenders of the citadel have fallen, and the troops of the victors are moving in a solemn march towards the Black Tower, bringing death to the vanquished.
However, those left a trump card in reserve, which they did not immediately decide to use even on the eve of death. The magicians tried to achieve peace by threatening the attackers with the death of the planet. However, the human army command refused to spare them. And then they decided - if you die, then die avenged.
So the Dragon returned to the world.

Dilogy "Time for Dragons"Written in fantasy style. The first book has almost nothing to do with the rest of the cycle, unlike the second, where almost all the characters take part"Wrath of the Dragon" And "Rock bases".

...The dragoness carefully examined the door, pressed her paw against it, and shifted her vision to the infrared range. For about a minute she watched the heat from her palm warm up the metal. Judging by the diffusion rate, the thickness of the door is about ten millimeters - quite a lot. Will the dragon cope with such an obstacle in one blow? Even such an amazingly trained dragon as Taiga, the multiple champion of Drakia in all types of martial arts?
There was only one way to check. Taiga left the lotus position and, throwing her tail over her shoulder, folded her wings as much as possible, interlocking the fingers of each hand with the main wing claw of the corresponding side. She slightly moved the received “double” paws, warming up and regulating her breathing. Throughout the body, from the base of the tail and above, along the spine, heat slowly spread, the rhythm of the heartbeat increased with every moment. A minute later, Taiga's body switched to modes beyond normal dragons, the pulse reached several hundred beats per minute, the blood rushed through the veins at an almost sonic speed. To saturate her with oxygen, the dragoness breathed spasmodically with her wide-open mouth, exhaling puffs of almost hot steam up to five times every second.
Sensing that even her uniquely developed body was nearing its physical limit, Taiga closed her eyes for a moment while concentrating in the A-Ki method and delivered a monstrous blow to the steel door, putting her entire two-ton mass into a deadly burst of energy compressed into a point. A dynamometer at that moment would show a peak pressure of ten to twelve thousand tons per square centimeter, more than many industrial hammers.
The metal could not withstand an attack capable of overturning a tank.

A roar ripped open the sky, and she ran from the blinding Beast, which, in an instant, made the Sun dim. She ran, and stones rushed under her feet, bushes reached out to her with smoldering branches, and she rushed from side to side, and heard the groaning of thousand-year-old trees, breaking under the onslaught of the Beast, like crystal dandelions. The heat caught up with her, and she screamed and fell, but rose again, trembling, lost in her dreams.
The air burned her from the inside, her consciousness became confused, and she threw herself off the cliff into the ocean, but the ocean was no more. She got up, crying, and limped on as the sky went mad, the world thrashed furiously in agony. Another blow splashed the ground, she screamed. Fear deprived her of the strength to look back, but she felt the Beast rushing after her, saw his smell, heard the oil flowing from bared mandibles. Stones rushed to her face, she fell into a crack and cringed as the Beast swept right next to her, searing her with heat, tearing a scream out of her soul.
Shaking, she got up. The ashen plain engulfed her with horror, took away the last of her strength, and she collapsed to her knees in hot dust. Behind her, her destroyed paradise was dying in the womb of an insatiable flame, and the Beast was already looking around in search of new prey, and she firmly knew that this was the end, and it was pointless to continue to fight, but still she trembled, stretched into the darkness with scorched hope.
-I'm here! She was grabbed by the shoulders, pressed to her chest. - I'm here!
She screamed, they hugged her tighter.
-Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid, dear!
Tears. How were cold tears preserved in this fiery world?.. She sobbed, and the hands of her beloved caressed her, his shadow covered from the burning sky, his voice defeated the growing rumble.
-Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid... I'm here...
She didn't want to open her eyes.
"You made it," her lips whispered. She pressed herself against his quivering chest. - Now it's not scary. We will leave together. I'm not afraid.
-No! - He grabbed her by the shoulders, looked into her face with insane caress. We won't leave, love! Do you hear? Let's not leave!
She choked with hope.
“I almost… I almost believed… That you won’t make it in time…” the fiery Beast approached, the heat of his breath evaporated tears.
"We won't leave," his native voice whispered affectionately. - Don't cry, darling, don't cry... We will be remembered, which means we will live. We will still see the light of the stars, my dear, we will fly over the lakes and drink the dawn nectar, I will decorate your eyelashes with a rainbow sparkle and laughter will ring out in the moon song ...
She smiled, and continued to smile, even as the fiery Beast, with a furious, hungry scream, tore their bodies, all-powerful in its rage, powerless against a tiny smile.
And the Beast, realizing this, screamed in mortal agony, but there was no one to hear him. No one to hug and whisper - "I'm here"
