Kir Bulychev is the second-largest figure in 20th-century Russian science fiction after the Strugatsky brothers. Several generations of readers grew up on his books, and his initial love is enduring and never fades with the years. The founder of the Great Guslar, the godfather of Alisa Selezneva, a girl from Earth's future, the chronicler of the works and days of Doctor Pavlysh and his friends from the crew of the interplanetary starship Segezha, the pilot on the Chronos River, which connects the different banks of Russia in time—Kir Bulychev is as multidimensional as life itself. His literary universe contains playful pranks, caustic, merciless irony, and the wisdom of a scientist and visionary.
This book concludes Kir Bulychev's series about InterGalactic Police agent Cora Orvat, a girl found as an infant on a distant planet in the Galaxy and raised on Children's Island, a top-secret research orphanage for lost orphans like herself.
The duties of an InterGalactic Police inspector take her to all sorts of places.
Today, Cora Orvat, on the planet New Helvetia, saves earthlings from a madman who has come to power and hates everything earthly ("Foreteller of the Past"). Tomorrow, she searches for the Mirror of Evil, the Ring of Menace, and the Crown of Power, priceless alien relics once lost on our planet ("Mirror of Evil"). Another time, Cora, already in China, in the Taklamakan Desert, uncovers the mystery of the disappearance of the inventor of the gravity engine ("The Disappearance of Professor Lu Fu"). It gets a bit funny sometimes, when Cora, in order to find the killer, is forced to transfer into the body of an alien chicken, and an egg-laying one at that ("In Chicken Skin"). What can you do? Duty!
