About the book: 2018 / We are pleased to present a new large collection of science fiction "Starship Troopers". Our reader will probably be pleased - of course, in just one book he will meet seven science fiction writers and their wonderful works. Judge for yourself: VINNICHENKO Igor, Shark Mountain PANCHENKO Vadim, God of Inderon RUDAKOV Alexey, Notes of a pilot STRUGATSKY Arkady and Boris, Inhabited Island Vladimir TRETYAKOV, Return to the Inhabited Island Natalya WILLWRIGHT, Royal Magnum Why science fiction, you ask? Of course, quite a lot of arguments could be made - from an accurate percentage calculation of reader preferences to quite sensible discussions about the influence of the fantasy genre with its predictions and literary prophecies for the future. Yes, all this is true, but let me quote just one thought of a very smart person. In his not so distant last visit to Earth, he readily responded to the name Robert Sheckley: “Only science fiction gives the creator complete freedom.” Perhaps it is precisely because of this desire to feel true freedom in creativity, to touch it at least a little, that the ranks of fans of fantastic literature are constantly growing and expanding. In closing, a couple of short additions: 1) “Starship Troopers” is a collection of works by the so-called. subgenre of “combat fiction”: 2) With this collection, Strelbitsky’s publishing house begins publication of the New Library of Science Fiction Until we meet again!
