The second and final part of the novel “Space Oops-ology.” “If cows start flying, then there’s nothing for me to do in space!”—authoritatively said Captain Zelenyy, struggling to free himself from under the clumsy cow carcass that had seated him on his space pod in the cartoon “The Secret of the Third Planet.” Interesting—what would the legendary ship’s engineer say if, by some misfortune, he were taken to the top-class cosmic dreadnought grown from ordinary cow cells? Yes, yes—exactly on such a starship, the brave captain Ilyin set off to unravel a terrible secret about the structure of the universe. Dangerous adventures and passions accompany him: the senior lieutenant Aniskina, an instructor in hand-to-hand combat; the ever-landing junior lieutenant Sochinsky; and the diversionary-tactical robot-diagnostic Aibo lit 66, faithful to the oath of CyberHippocrates. Abandoned seven hundred years into the future by an explosion from a black hole—without food supplies, equipment, or weapons—they will have to fight the most dangerous creatures in the universe.
