In modern literature there are stories for every taste: from classical prose to fantasy, from romance novels to action-packed detective stories. Someone prefers stories about "hit people", others like adventures in space, others like the plots of computer games, where the gods play people at their own discretion. These styles can be found in all books by Elena Kovalevskaya.

The author has published only four stories, the rest exist only in online publication, and some of them, unfortunately, are not finished yet.

Magical adventures

Elena Kovalevskaya tries her pen in different genres. For example, the work "Cleric" is the plot of an online role-playing game where the heroine finds herself in a parallel world filled with magic, in which local gods cannot share power, and she is ready for anything to get home.

Woman and Church

And what happens if the clergy is in power? You can read about this in another story by Elena Kovalevskaya "The letter that started it all." Reality, where the Pope executes and pardons,and the churchmen "tighten the blanket", trying to snatch a bigger piece of goods.

Betrothed-disguised

In Russia, almost all girls like to tell fortunes at Christmas, especially on the betrothed. It turns out that in the adjacent universe there is a ritual of finding a chosen one, which was presented by Elena Kovalevskaya in "Notes of a Medieval Housewife" in the story about the "fallen woman". Anna, by the will of a medieval marquis, eager to receive an inheritance, finds herself in another world at the altar. And this is not a fairy tale about eternal love, but a harsh reality. It doesn’t matter what the betrothed is: a drunken alcoholic or a cripple, without him there will be no happiness, and children can only come from him.

What should a girl do if her unloved cruel husband, who violated the will of his uncle and guardian, is having fun openly with his mistress, and his wife is his legal property, which he can beat or send to the ruined estate "out of sight"? How to survive in this unfamiliar and alien reality?

Show women's cunning and ingenuity: get money from a spouse's relative, grab a few servants and go to the village! Anna did just that. By presenting Clarence as a vicious sadist, she gains the support of the Duke of Conenthal. On the way to the estate, the girl buys cloth, shoes and seeds not only for herself, but also for the servants.

Kovalevskaya Elena in her work described the selfless struggle for survival in the difficult conditions of rural life, where technical progress was not heard,there are no glass jars for winter preparations, and even the marquises have to work on an equal footing with everyone else so as not to starve and freeze in winter in this crumbling house. But the main intrigue is that Anna's current husband is not her betrothed.

Space Wars

Space sci-fi fans will love the book by Elena Kovalevskaya "Heroes of other people's victories", co-authored with Mikhail Mikheev, and the second story in the duology.

Space, 3285, the Confederate-Empire war is in full swing. The struggle of politicians for resources, for new planets. Who is right, who is wrong? For a handful of dying fugitives, it doesn't matter now. Confederate deserters land on an enemy planet in customized longships. What to do in a situation where at any moment the ship can explode, having received a signal about the death of the pilot? It is necessary to switch the control of the device to another pilot using a plug, connecting it to the base of the neck of an improved person.

Yes, yes. This is a book about cyborgs too. The Confederation conducts experiments on people, increasing the speed of transmission of nerve impulses with the help of a metal implanted in the brain of the subject, such a parasitic symbiosis. But! One big BUT. Instead of this speeding up, a person ages with such suddenness that the internal organs of twenty-year-olds look 200 years old.

The main character switched control over the drakkar to herself, but she couldn't turn off the program on her own, and the Empire's programmers were powerless in neutralizing the self-destruction block. ATin this case, the old Russian method will help - an ordinary sledgehammer.

If you can't do something with a computer, take a sledgehammer and it will give up by itself. Out of fear.

Scientists are the same everywhere: they just need to get to the bottom of the root cause or create something new, and they don’t even think about how it will affect everyone else.

They are like big kids who have lost all sense of reality.

Thus, the scientists of the Empire wanted to know what kind of symbiont it was and how to deal with it, but the wishes of the victims were not important.

Breaking Bad

How does a person act if he knows the date of his death? Someone begins to "live to the fullest", others fall into despondency and depression, and some, on the contrary, bring this event closer.

Modified pilots did the same. When the planet was attacked by former compatriots, the survivors went to battle, knowing that many would not return from there.

Sashka, the main character of the book, tricked her ship into orbit, and did everything possible to make the enemy curse their attack.

As the literate military say, experience wins in battle. So the team of former residents of the Confederation, using practice and skill, shot opponents, despite overload and physical exhaustion.

Will Alexandra survive in this cosmic hell, will she even live, or is the whole power of the universe powerless?! You will find out by reading the duology.
