On May 29, 2000, such a web resource as "Samizdat" appeared on the Web - a platform for poets and writers that allows you to post your works for free.
A lot of modern authors publish their works on Samizdat. One of them is science fiction writer Mikhail Gornov. So far, three completed, about five unfinished online novels and about a dozen paper books have been published under his name.
About the author
Not much is known about Mikhail Gornov's biography. According to the information indicated on the writer's page on the Samizdat website, he has been creating fantasy novels for a long time. Most of the time, Mikhail Gornov worked in collaboration with another writer, publishing works under a common pseudonym on the same Samizdat web resource.
However, for certain reasons, co-author Gornov stopped writing, and the existence of their creative tandem ceased. Later, Mikhail Gornov created his ownown page on "Samizdat" and began to publish there novels written by him without the participation of a co-author.
The writer mainly works in the genres of science and combat fiction. In addition to the name "Mikhail Gornov", some of his novels are also posted under the pseudonyms "Makhalych M.", "Mikhailov M.", "Mikhas" and others.
The writer's page was last updated on April 16, 2014. Currently, Gornov writes for publishers - his last novel, titled "The Greatness of the Master", was released in 2018.
Bibliography. "Space Adventurer from Earth"
All books by Mikhail Gornov related to his early work are freely available on the Samizdat website.
The most popular work of the writer is the dilogy "Space Adventurer from Earth", published under the pseudonym Makhalich Mikhas.
The action of the first book of the dilogy takes place in an alternative reality in the near future (2029), when spaceships plow the expanses of the galaxy, and the answer to the question of whether there is life on other planets besides Earth is quite obvious: yes.
The main character is a 31-year-old earthling named Anton Rodionovich Artemyev. He is an astronaut who, shortly before the beginning of the story, was on Mars as part of an expedition.
However, something happened on the red planet, and by the will of circumstances, Anton Artemyev got on a spaceship unknown to him, which delivered an earthling outside the solar system. Artemyev will have to fight against galactic pirates, make new friends and enemiesand get answers to many of his questions about space.
The second novel of Mikhail Gornov's dilogy "Space Adventurer from Earth 2" is not yet completed. It, like the first part, tells about the adventures of Artemyev in the unexplored part of the Galaxy.
Captain
Another series of Gornov's novels is "Captain", the second book of which is also not finished.
The Captain's universe is reminiscent of the era of piracy of the 16th-18th centuries with an admixture of magic and more modern technologies. The main character is Slavar Karbash, a hitman who, for some unknown reason, finds himself in an alternate reality aboard an airship and is forced to fight the pirates attacking him.
