About the book: 2018 / The quiet, measured life of the islanders is disrupted by some wonderful misfortune. Beginning as an anecdote, the story turns into a great adventure, in which the oral postman Toy learns much about the island's past and actively participates in determining its future. The science fiction here is sort of pseudo-scientific, almost rationally explainable. There will be mountains and caves, scientific disputes and absurd situations, dark secrets and unexpected discoveries. And, of course, it will not do without true friends and beautiful ladies. Presented in simple, convenient language, it will be of interest to both teenagers and mature readers..
