About the book: 2010 / Female crew of a space attack aircraft - what could be more ridiculous! This is the opinion of all the master pilots of the Skyguard paramilitary patrol service. However, captain Katya Shelest, medic Lenochka Gradova and flight engineer Snezhana Soboleva are ready to prove to the rude males in uniform that they are capable of serving no worse than them. True, for some reason all sorts of troubles always fall on the female crew: they have to either fight with insidious smugglers, or fight with space pirates, or expose the machinations of dangerous hypnotist-sectarians, or even completely destroy criminal plans of a galactic scale... But this is even more interesting!
