Olga Gromyko (born 1978) is a Russian-language writer from Belarus, popular among fans of humorous fantasy and science fiction. The series about the adventures of a team of space long-haul truckers has long and firmly won the hearts of readers and listeners, and the new book continues to expand and deepen the beloved world.
The collection was compiled from several novellas and stories united by a single plot line, which, in the end, brings together new and old heroes. The DEX company has been defeated, but life is so full of diverse surprises and everyday problems that the heroes will probably look back with nostalgia at the times when they had to fight a specific and obvious enemy! How is the Shooter doing—did he manage to survive the death of Belka? Is Roger Sakai bored, sailing through space in search of smugglers? How can you celebrate New Year on a distant desert planet where it’s easier to invite a Christmas tree to visit than to buy one in a store? Can you buy loyalty? And can you build it into a genome?! There’s plenty here to laugh at and something to cry over—though, as always, in the books of this wonderful author.
