France is not a very fantastic country compared to, for example, America. Who, except Jules Verne, can you remember from French science fiction? Almost nobody. Roni Sr. with his “Fight for Fire”, Maurice Renard, Gerard Klein... Who else? But there is a name in the fiction of France that our domestic reader knows for sure Francis Karsak . His novel “Robinsons of Space”, translated and published in our country in the early 1960s, immediately brought the writer to one of the leading places in the rating of sympathy of Russian readers. The next collection of Karsak included a dilogy from the cycle “Galactic Commonwealth” the novels “Aliens from nowhere” and “This world is ours”, telling about the struggle of united humanity with “theme-who-ghost-stars”, strange creatures that came from another universe. "Our homeland is space" - variations of the French classic on the theme "one's own among strangers, a stranger among his own", the story of a space guard, faithful to the ideals of the empire, but an inexorable force of circumstances found itself among free wanderers, in a world where the ideal is freedom, not an order dictated by the emperor The collection is supplemented with stories published in Russian for the first time. In the corpus of Karsak's works presented in this volume, reductions and omissions allowed in previous editions have been restored.
