About the book: year / An unlucky alien writer decides to stage a stellar apocalypse and goes to the solar system to blow up the sun. The earthlings, having received a vague ultimatum about complete surrender, send a delegation to the alien with alternative proposals. Thanks to the intervention of the Moldavian Colonel Aurel Brom, the Earth is saved. Meanwhile, a renowned galactic scientist finds a living mnemonic crystal of the Star Seeders. According to legend, all discoveries related to the Sowers promise a terrible catastrophe for the galaxy. In order to uncover the mystery and find out what danger threatens the inhabited worlds, it is necessary to activate the crystal and revive the ghost. However, the crystal's contents turn out to be incomplete, and the ghost begins to search for the missing parts of his soul, one of which turns out to be Aurel Brom, and the other - an alien writer. In order to find the remaining parts and reunite, the expedition members leave Earth and, with the help of a ghost, go to a parallel world.Vad Capustin. My first novel, written a long time ago. I don’t encourage anyone to read it - it is so thoroughly damaged that even now, despite all my efforts, I have not been able to correct it - only turn it into something like a parody. The third novel of “The Colonel” was written precisely because in the world around There were events about which I wanted to say a lot, preferably in a graphomaniac form accessible to humanity. Quite by accident, I came up with something like a Moldavian-Altair parody of Louis Aragon’s novel “The Communists.” I'm afraid that, lacking - alas - Aragonese talent, I was not able to make it sufficiently exciting. In my defense, I will say that the above-mentioned novel by this wonderful writer is considered quite boring, and it is unlikely that anyone is now reading it voluntarily. I will add that all the female characters of the novel, their behavior and adventures remain on the conscience of my co-author, the dragon Gryz-A-Vu, who created and glorified them, and neither the author nor Professor Ka-Pus-Tin Wad bears any responsibility for them.
