Kir Bulychev is the second magnitude in domestic fiction of the XX century after the Strugatsky brothers. Several generations of readers grew up on his books, and the first reader's love is long-lasting and does not cool down over the years. The founder of the Great Guslyar (a kind of analogue of the northern city of Solovets with the famous NIICHAVO and its employees), godfather of Alisa Selezneva, a girl from the future Earth, chronicler of the works and days of Dr. Pavlysh and his friends from the crew of the interplanetary starship "Segezha", pilot on the river Chronos, connecting different shores of Russia in time - Kir Bulychev is multidimensional, like life itself, in his literary universe has a place and humorous prank, and caustic, merciless irony, and the wisdom of a scientist and visionary. It has everything but boredom. The spaceship "Segezha" was making an ordinary flight to Titan with a cargo of mining equipment, when a radiogram was received from the Galactic Center: urgently interrupt the flight, take on board the passengers of an alien ship and a cargo of special purpose. And further take a course in one of the star systems to the planet, where, according to the data of the unmanned reconnaissance ship, nuclear war broke out. Why send the Earthlings there? Because, judging by the detected images of the inhabitants of the dead planet, they look similar to humans. And the special-purpose cargo is a device created by the Crown race to restore a dead body. In the novel The Settlement, the ship Pole crashes and lands on an uninhabited planet. The crew is forced to abandon ship, the reason - high radiation as a result of the reactor explosion. Deadly dangerous passage through the frozen snowy mountains to the seemingly salvific forest is endured by few. The survivors found a settlement in the forest... For almost two decades its inhabitants fight with aggressive nature, a new generation is born and grows up, for whom the memories of the Earth are nothing more than a beautiful fairy tale told at bedtime by adults. The present collection includes the complete cycle of works about the stellar Dr. Pavlysh. The book is illustrated by the works of artist Victor Mineev.
