The biography and personality of Sergei Pavlovich Korolev, the founder of Russian practical cosmonautics, who opened the door to the space age for all mankind in the first decades of the second half of the twentieth century, will always arouse genuine interest. No matter how much they write about the Chief Designer, each new book reveals and emphasizes something different in his fate and character - important from the point of view of the author-biographer, whose view is like a reflection in the mirrors of time, changing both angles and lighting, but leaving unchanged the highest human traits: moral, heroic, creative. That is why another biographical novel "Korolev. Chief Designer" is relevant. The book is free from tendentiousness. For the first time psychologically traced the complex relationship between S.P. Korolev and the outstanding rocket scientist VP Glushko. Along with the protagonist on the pages come to life and biographers: Ya. Golovanov, A. Romanov, P. Astashenkov and others. Without the valuable biographical research of N.S. Koroleva and the feat of labor of these biographers, the history of the life of SP Korolev is now unimaginable. The novel "Korolev. Chief Designer" - not only another attempt to illuminate in a new way many known facts and find lost, but also to recreate the psychological multifaceted personality of the Chief Designer, in the heart of which lies the mystery of his success and the first victorious steps into space, made under his leadership and became the result of genius organizational strategy and tactics of S.P. Korolev as the creator and leader of a powerful rocket and space system, which brought together talented scientists, designers, engineers and numerous scientific and industrial and industrial enterprises. The concept of the book is interesting: S.P. Korolev eventually acquires the features of an epic hero of the twentieth century, the author states.
