Late for Summer

“Golden Fund of Science Fiction” — a finely constructed dialogue between science and a philosophical parable, where flights to the stars and public experiments become a reflection of eternal questions about a person—his choices and his place in the Universe.

Andrey Gennadievich Lazarchuk is a recognized master of Russian science fiction, the author of more than twenty-five novels and many other texts, a laureate of the “Aelita,” “Strannik,” “RosCon,” “Interpressekon,” “ABS-prize,” and others.

Blurred dreams of the past and flashes of the future merge into the world of “The Latecomers.” This is a story of human destinies against the backdrop of vast schemes and major disasters, about the drama of technical and social momentum moving forward. The ripples from these events spread in ever-widening circles—through time and space.

A mysterious attraction that draws the interest of special services. A film script in which truth intertwines with deception. An unusual union of nature and advanced technology.

The edition includes the novels “Waterloo Bridge” and “Soldiers of Babylon,” as well as the novellas “Lavier’s Attraction,” “The Road of the Defeated,” “Bait for the Devil,” and “Tin Board.”
