Империя превыше всего #1
Череп на рукаве
Этот роман - фантастический боевик, написанный в лучших традициях жанра. Герой книги - Руслан Фатеев, уроженец планеты Новый Крым, - идеальный солдат грядущей войны с Чужими, жуткими и загадочными монстрами, остановить которых не в силах никто и ничто. Но это будет потом, а пока форма имперского десантника, до боли напоминающая форму солдат вермахта времен Второй мировой, ложится на его плечи как клеймо предателя, покинувшего свой дом и вступившего в ряды оккупантов.

Nick Perumov
76 books146 followersNick Perumov (Russian:
Ник Перумов
) is the pen name of Nikolay Daniilovich Perumov (Russian: Николай Даниилович Перумов; born 21 November 1963), a Russian fantasy and science fiction writer.
Perumov was born November 21, 1963 in Leningrad, USSR. He began writing short stories since he was a teenager, and after reading The Lord of the Rings in the early 1980s, he became a fantasy fan. After studying at the Leningrad Polytechnical Institute, Perumov worked at a research institute, and later as a translator.
In 1985-1991 he his debut 'Кольцо Тьмы ' (The Ring of Darkness), a fantasy triology, which consisted of two novels: Эльфийский Клинок (Elven Blade),Черное Копье (Black Lance)and Адамант Хенны. The events of the book took place in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, 300 years after the War of the Ring. Perumov initially regarded his novel as just a fan fiction written for friends, until one of his colleagues offered to publish it. In 1993 the duology, re-edited and renamed 'Кольцо Тьмы' (The Ring of Darkness) was published in Severo-Zapad publishing, which paid Perumov just $300. The Ring of Darkness has sold at least 100,000 copies, and ranked high in popularity among Russian fantasy readers. At the same time it also provoked a controversy in Tolkien fandom. Some Tolkien fans considered that no one has the right to write sequels to The Lord of the Rings and to change Middle-earth's history. Other critics argue that Perumov eroded the edge between Good and Evil by giving Uruk-hai humanlike behaviour.
After the success of his debut, Perumov decided to start a career of professional writer. He wrote the novel 'Гибель Богов' (Godsdoom), the first to be set in Упорядоченное (The Consistent), his universe of multiple connected worlds. The Consistent became the main locale of his following books, including the most known, 8-volume series Хранитель Мечей (The Keeper of Swords).
Perumov's books published in overall number of more than 4 millions of copies and translated to many languages, Northern and Eastern European mostly. One of his books, Godsdoom has also been translated to English. At Eurocon 2004 he was awarded as the best fiction writer of Europe.
Perumov now lives in the United States of America, where he works at a research center as a microbiologist. He claims writing is his 'hobby', while science is his work.

Reitinga par abām daļām. Klausīts audioformātā.
2* par sižetu utml. Trešā zvaigzne par bioloģiskajiem ieročiem un to aprakstu. Var just, ka pēc izglītības ir mikrobiologs.

Не смотря на интересный сюжет и глобальную задумку, читать было тяжело. Почему планета Новый Крым, а не Новый Урал или Новый Сахалин? Реально сакральность давит на скрепы. Какие-то "фашисты-дедывоевали-наберлин". Кто-то в "можем повторить" не наигрался. Главного героя, взятие Берлина в 1945м, успокаивало в 2200 или 2250м году. Учитель в школе просил детей принести детей письма и прочие памятные вещи со 2-й Мировой войны. 300 лет спустя, Карл!!! В 2000м у многих сохранились дедушкины письма с Ингерманландской компании Петра I в Северной Войне начала 1700х??? Ну или хотя бы открытки или трофеи с Бородино? Это уже поближе, всего 200 лет назад. Имперская армия похожа больше не на Вермахт, а на уродливую смесь немецкой армии времен 1й мировой и вдв рф 90х. Каждый младший офицерик- обязательно аристократ, а руководство генштаба эрцгерцоги и кронприцы. Хотя в том же Австро-Венгреском генштабе руповодство часто было из простых людей, а в немецком, в лучшем случае бароны или графы, но никак не эрцгерцоги и кронпринцы. В армии снабженцы крадут, а в казарме устраивают "тёмную". Типично руссо-армия. Ибо даже в Бундесвере 2000х такого нет. Сложно представить, что немецкие вооруженные силы скатятся за 200+ лет на уровень красной армии времен развитого социализма и немецкой армии времен 1914го. 2ю книгу вообще нет желания читать.
Короче, лучше бы автор фокусировался на фэнтези, оно у него неплохо получается, а то такая ахинея вышла.

На удивление понравилось. При всей фантастичности происходящего, на многие вопросы в конце был дан ответ.

Автор предложил идею о борьбе не через революцию а через изменение империи изнутри. Читать можно, но так, не особо.

Nothing original: humans VS alien invaders. Very bad mojo from "positive" reference to Nazi Germany SS Wehrmacht forces...I won't read the next book
