Аннотация

The final book in the Brigadier General series. The defeat of the enemy fleet was not a final victory. The enemy is still strong and ready to fight, relying on the ancient weapons of the ancestors, and Admiral Lavroff is forced to constantly look back, waiting for a stab in the back, as the Empire, from an unreliable ally of the Earth Federation, is increasingly becoming a new threat.

Аннотация

The Earth Federation prepares to repel an attack of the new enemy. Fleet Admiral Igor Lavroff feels confident of victory, knowing that Imperial warships will take part in the upcoming battle along with his fleet. But strange things begin to happen in the Empire, and it suddenly turns into a highly unreliable ally, leaving humans and the lizards alone with the enemy they are unable to fight on equal terms.

Аннотация

Rear Admiral Lavrov almost achieved his goal, at least that’s what it looks like. The subspace portal prototype has been successfully tested, the hypergate program has been approved by the President, and the Earth Federation has got a new ally. But the ally is weak, and he needs protection more than he can help the humans. Time is against Lavroff. He understands that the quargs have found an effective means of countering the Federation’s new weapons and are preparing a large-scale offensive. Lavroff has no doubt that the enemy will strike before the hyperportal is built. Despite a severe lack of time and misunderstanding of the top military leadership, he is preparing two operations at once – the defense of the Federation planets and a counter-attack.

Former Brigadier General Dean, who is now Captain Igor Lavroff, is still far from completing his main task, but the most pressing problems seem to have been solved. The attack from the outside has been repulsed, all charges dropped, and the new high office opens up great prospects. But as we know, if you think everything’s okay, then you just don’t know everything… During a deep raid on the rear of the quargs, Igor Lavroff makes two unpleasant discoveries at once. One, six months from now, the Earthlings will have to repel attacks of dozens of Titan-class battleships, which means the enemy can neutralize the defenses of any star system controlled by humanity. And two, the war with the quargs has entered a moderate phase not because the enemy has weakened, but because he is fighting on two fronts. Somewhere in the depths of space, the quargs face a force capable of destroying cruisers with a powerful weapon that burns through armor. Yet Lavroff feels that even such a powerful potential ally of humans in the war against the quargs is being defeated. Which means that very soon the Earth Federation will have to repel a particularly massive attack by the sworn enemy. Does humanity have time to prepare for a decisive battle? Or is it too late?..

Аннотация

Brigadier General Dean’s new life continues.  Now he is Cadet Igor Lavroff, who has managed to defeat a fatal disease, enroll in the Planetary Commando Academy and survive in battle on an enemy-occupied planet. He is still far from completing the task assigned to him by his command in his past life. But he moves steadily towards his goal, despite the intrigues he faces, the backstabbing  and the large-scale alien offensive threatening to destroy the Earth Federation long before Dean can fulfill his mission.

Аннотация

In a distant galaxy the Human Empire is slowly losing its war with alien invaders. Then one day the Empire discovers another human civilization millions of light-years away, but it lags behind technologically. This distant civilization is also in a war for its very existence. The Empire sees a chance for its salvation by joining with this potential ally. A portal consisting of a pair of hypergates on each side is needed, however. Meanwhile, the Empire's Brigadier General Dean has been exposed to deadly radiation in battle with the aliens, and he is preparing to meet his death. Unexpectedly, he is offered to take part in a top-secret experimental project – to have his mind transferred into the brain of an incurably sick young man lying in a coma in that distant human civilization. Dean’s task in this new body is to find a cure for his disease, then make a military career, strive to a high position in their society and ultimately to ensure that a second hyper-portal gate is built so that it will connect the two civilizations.

Научная фантастика – жанр, с помощью которого мы неоднократно убеждались, как сильна человеческая мысль и как технологии будущего становятся нашим настоящим. В 2022 году ЛитРес и АО «ЗАСЛОН» провели литературный конкурс, в рамках которого авторы размышляли, как у простых инженеров из-за разработанных ими технологий в одночасье может поменяться жизнь, как к ним приходят оригинальные идеи и как они развивают свои творения. Лучшие рассказы выбирали Сергей Лукьяненко, Вадим Панов, Андрей Васильев и Макс Глебов современные популярные писатели-фантасты. В этом сборнике рассказы победителей о невидимых научных и технологических альтернативах, которые существуют с нами каждый день. Бонус – рассказ члена жюри, Макса Глебова.

Марк Рич, наконец, вырвался с Бриганы-3 и, казалось бы, перед ним отрывается широкий спектр возможностей. Однако в ближайшей перспективе ему неизбежно предстоит встретиться с властями Федерации, а в благополучном исходе этой встречи у Рича имеются вполне обоснованные сомнения.
