SOME BOOKS WRITTEN BY HENRY LION OLDIE
(Dmitry Gromov and Oleg Ladyzhensky)

ABSTRACTS

Here we propose to Your attention a set of abstracts describing Science Fiction and Fantasy novels, noveletts and short stories written by two authors working in collaboration -- Dmitry Gromov and Oleg Ladyzhensky (they are known under the joint pen-name of Henry Lion Oldie). Their stories, long and short, are rather various in style, but all their novels belong to a very specific kind of "fantasy": the authors themselves define it as "philosophical fantasy hit" while the literary critics call it "mythological realism of the postmodern period". In any way these works overstep the frames of usual fantasy.

            At “EuroCon-2006” International European SF & Fantasy Convention H. L. Oldie got a title of The Best European SF & Fantasy Writer of 2006, by the voting of representatives of 22 European countries.

"ABYSS OF HUNGRY EYES": A Cycle

1. "WAITING AT CROSSROADS" (novella, about 39.000 words, 1992-1993.)
An alternate world. Early Middle Ages. A special kind of wizards and priests, the so-called "Precursors" exists in this world. They feed on the human beliefs in various Gods, myths, legends and supernatural things in general. But all of these Precursors compete with each other for the human faith. And the moment comes when the five strongest among them decide to unite their strength and to build a specific "HOUSE-AT-CROSSROAD" intended for accumulating the energy of human faith. But soon the House-at-Crossroad acquires a kind of conscience of its own and begins to accumulate human faith actively giving nothing in exchange.
Thus the balance of faith in the world was broken, and the spiritual degeneration began. Supernatural things vanish one by one, taking with them myths and legends, fairy-tales and songs; the life becomes grey and dull. And so the assistants of the Precursors, the "Myth Creators", broke their usual obedience and rebelled against the Precursors and the House-at-Crossroad.
The heroes of the story go through many mystical and real adventures, they lose their friends, but finally the House-at-Crossroad is destroyed... Besides very dynamic action, the novel contains the philosophical basis explaining the existence of supernatural things.

This novella got the 2nd place at the Fantasy Competition dedicated to Howard Phillips Lovecraft in Ekaterinburg (Russia) in 1994. It was also nominated for the "Interpresscon" (third place according the results of voting) and "Bronze snail" prizes in 1996.

2. "THE WAY" (novel, about 51.000 words, 1991-1992.)
The scene of this novel is the Earth (in present and future times) and in alternative parallel world.
The technotronic civilization has resulted in a kind of a dead, mechanical life completely alien to human beings. There was no robot revolts, no supercomputers usurping the power -- simply the things which became alive began gradually to force the people out from Earth. The so-called "Voiders" (a kind of people with strong extrasensual abilities) tried to save the dramatically decreasing population of the Earth. They began to convey them into the parallel world. But soon they learn that in this world people lose their memory although they grow immortal. Still some specific particles of human souls, called "necroids", "responsible" for the death of physical bodies, remain on the Earth. And soon these particles form a "Necrosphere" -- the embryo of the Hell on Earth. The Necrosphere begins to change the surrounding reality destroying both time and space with the intention to gain superiority over Earth forever.
The principal hero of the novel, an immortal gladiator Marcell, suceeds in regaining his memory. He learns that he is a former Voider and with the help of his reincarnations he tries to change the destiny of Earth...

Extracts from this novel were included to the "Master-Radio" show (Kharkov, Ukraine, 1994).

3. "THE TWILIGHT OF THE WORLD" (novel, about, 56.000 words, 1992.)
The alternative world which is inhabited, apart from ordinary people by werwolves, vampires and Ninefold-Living people (descendants of the Immortals). The Ninefold-Living were trying to defend ordinary people from werwolves. But in the course of time it appeared that the situation is not so simple: often the Ninefold-Living themselves provoke the werevolves to attack and the latter must defend themselves. Because of mutual envy, fear and misunderstanding a real bloody war expands in this world. And only after the appearance of the new general enemy, the vampires (so-called "Varks") ordinary people and werwolves find it possible to forget the strife and unite in order to fight them.
Against the background of the changing fates of the whole world unfolds the romantic story of a young werewolf's love to a Ninefold-Living girl; the irreconsilable enemies become friends, but the ominous eyes of a "vark" search them in the night... The dynamic plot of the novel is combined with a deep humanistic idea.

This novel was listed in "The Best 10 SF And Fantasy Novels of the former USSR" "The Great Ring" in 1993 (# 4).
In 1994 a Role-Play Game based on this novel was carried out near Kharkov (Ukraine).

4. "LIVE FOR THE LAST TIME" (novella, about 25.000 words, 1991.)
The action of the novel unfolds in the world inhabited by the Ninefold-Living people and the vampires ("varks"). The principal hero is a boy who was born "a cripple" (from the point of view of people surrounding him) -- he lives only once ("for the last time"), which means that he can't return to life after death. But the boy (later the young man) wants to prove both to himself and to all the people that he is normal and manly. So he becomes a warrior. Some time later he met a beauty from a famous family and fell in love with her. But soon it turned out that the girl is a vampire! She loves him sincerely and doesn't want to bite him and thus make him a vampire too, but Senior Vampires consider this to be a treason and put an invocation on her. So she cannot rise from her grave any more. Only human blood can break the invocation. And the hero comes to her grave and allows her to "kiss" his neck. And he becomes a "vark" himself.
Still something human has remained in the souls of the vampire-hero and his vampire-girl; they began to search for the special invocation ("The Word of the Last Ones") which turns a vampire back into normal man. After many morbid adventures they found the "Word of the Last Ones", but it turns out that it can be applied only to the Senior Vampires ("High Varks"). They cannot use the "Word of the Last Ones" till they become High Varks, but then they'll become completely unhuman and would never want to return into their human image!
The solving of this problem was long and hard; at the end of the novel the hero and his girl succeded to acquire human features again; but other vampires found the opened door to Earth...

This novella was listed in "The Best 10 SF And Fantasy Novels of the former USSR" "The Great Ring" in 1992 (#6).
In 1994 a Role-Play Game based on this novella was carried out near St. Petersburg (Russia).

5. "FEAR" (novelette, about 16.000 words, 1991.)
The late Middle Ages on the Earth. A strange Asiatic town. In this town people begin to die for no reason, but each time the inexpressible horror is reflected in the eyes of the dead. The town physician Yakub decides to find the reason of these awful cases. The search leads him to a deserted and gloomy old temple in the mountains. An idol standing there becomes alive in the night, and it tells Yakub who kills the inhabitants of the town. It is an old priest who lives in the town and puts people to death by fear in order to feed himself upon their life forces. Neither poison nor steel can do any harm to this monster. Then Yakub brings his newly-born son to the house of the old priest. And the priest dies trying in vain to scare and thus to kill the boy, because the baby has no fear...

This novelette got the 1st place at the Fantasy Competition dedicated to Howard Phillips Lovecraft in Ekaterinburg (Russia) in 1994. "Fear" was nominated for the "Interpresscon" and "Bronze snail" prizes. This story won the second place in the "Horror Fantasy" nomination of the "Stranger" prize.

6. "THE STAIN-GLASSES OF PATRIARCHS" (novelette, about 10.000 words, 1990-1991.)
An alternative world. The world where the word is a force. Verses act as invocations. And the man from Earth gets into this world...
This is a romantic story of magic and verses, friendship and treason, love and cruel fighting.

7. "TO ENTER INTO IMAGE" (novella, about 39.000 words, 1991.)
Another strange world without any religion and any arts. Spiritual progress is almost impossible, and this world gradually plunges in primitivity. But a talented actor happens to arrive from Earthjust to this world. He cannot live without acting. And the religion begins to build up very quickly around him.
But who had conveyed the actor into this world? What was the purpose? For religion gives not only spiritual culture but, especially at early stages, severe conflicts and wars as well...
And then comes the moment when two great armies of religious fanatic confront each other, directed by supernatural forces. The Hell forces incarnated in blood-thirsty human beings were nearly ready to break through, BUT...

Listed in "The Best 10 SF & Fantasy Novels And Stories" of the former USSR in 1994.

8. "ARISEN FROM THE PARADISE" (novel, about 65.000 words, 1993.)
Three men, just ordinary ones, meet a witch and casually acquire from her some supernatural ability which conveys them to a parallel world. There they become ghosts. From their new friends they learn that this is a very strange and cruel world. There rules the mysterious Beast-Book. Under its influence almost all the people living in this world lost their freedom of will; they turned into letters, words, phrases, lines and pages of the Beast-Book.
Captivating adventures, severe fighting, both mystical and real, against the Beast-Book, all this combined with philosophical ideas concerning the place of a human being in the world, his responsibility for all his doings -- such is the contents of the novel.

All these 8 novels, novellas and novelettes are separate pieces. But they form a big cycle telling about the destinies of three worlds and many people. The authors' style may be determined as "science fantasy", but the authors prefer to call it "philosophical fantasy hit" or "philosophical fantasy blockbuster" -- it's the original H. L. Oldie's style in Fantasy Literature.

"THE WAY OF THE SWORD" (novel; about 147.000 words, 1994.)

            Book 1: Kabir

            The world described in the novel is unprecedented among the works of the world fantasy. Its history and geography is very like the Earth in Middle Ages, but with an essential difference: here all arms such as swords, spears etc. have a mind of their own. Arms of the same type form something like human families or clans. The living swords etc. call themselves "Brilliants", and they consider the human beings to be but their "Carriers", like dogs or horses, and don't even suppose that they are intelligent too. And the people in their turn have not the slightest idea about the way things are. Nevertheless, this society is rather stable: the skill of fencing being raised to the level of high art any duels never result in the blood-spilling or Carriers's death. Thanks to easily understandable reasons the wars have also been forgotten long ago. In one word, this world is a kind of "feudal utopia".
But we learn that something is going wrong there. Mysterious and bloody murders began to happen in a number of towns. Not only people are killed, but also the intelligent arms happen to be destroyed. Such things have not happened here for almost eight centuries!
The main heroes of the novel are the upright sword Dan Ghien called the Unicorn and its Carrier - a young nobleman Chan Unkor.
The scimitar Sheshez ruling over the Emirate (from the Brilliants' point of view) invites the Unicorn to investigate those crimes. The same task is given by the man-Emir Daud to Chan Unkor.
As the result Chan himself gets into trouble: during a fencing competition his right hand was cut away. Being under the psychic influence (unaware of it) exercized by his sword, the young man feels that he cannot live without fencing and tries the last remedy: following the advice given to him by the Emir's jester Druddle he orders a smith to forge an iron hand for him, although he understood very clearly that this was a nonsense.
But as the result of secret ancient rites the iron hand acquires life of its own! It becomes the intermediary between the man and his sword, a link between the two intelligent races. The heroes understand that in order to oppose the murderers they have now to change their minds; soon they manage to overcome the interdiction to kill inherent to both of them while saving the life of the jester Druddle in a city street at night. The same night the man and his sword together with the jester's blunt dagger Dziuttee which is more widely known as the Kabir Executioner leave the capital following the footsteps of the murderers towards the native country of Chan's ancestors, Maylan (closely reminding the ancient China). Their butlers (the man Kos Antanya and the Estoc sword Zarrahid) decide to accompany their masters during the dangerous journey in spite of the orders given to them to stay at home.
But the heroes had still to learn that some other companions were going after them. Should they had known that in advance...

            Book 2: Maylan

            The road to Maylan was abundant with adventures; the heroes got better acquainted with one another, now they not only cooperate but from time to time create a new entity, "man-sword". They meet a smart old woman called Mother Tsi who is searching for some ancient secrets, they learn the details of Kabirean history and inform their companions about the symbiosis they live in, and at last arrive safely to Maylan. Here the heroes enter into possession of their family inheritance and at the same time they find out that the princess of Maylan who had become a widow being still very young is aspiring to marry Chan. Their investigation is likely to be interrupted, but suddenly a number of strange events happens around the heroes, all of them evidently having the goal to destroy the wedding. In the whirl of these around-wedding events the heroes manage to find the trace of the murderers (both men and the Brilliants) leading to an ancient Batinite sect whose members use the mortal duels in their rituals.
The Batinites (men and their swords called "the Tarnished" consider that the original destination of both human beings and arms was to kill, and they are obliged not to forget it.
But it is found out that the sectarians didn't take part in the crimes committed in Kabir! The real murderers are at last found (and among them the man and the sword who had cut away Chan's hand). The night murderers turned out to be the citizens of Kabir who had been taken prisoners by the nomad tribe in a distant land of Shulma and ran away in order to rescue their native land. The point is that the savage nomads are going to attack Kabir, and the murderers decided to sacrifice themselves: to rouse the inhabitants of Kabir, to remind them of the old warrior skills and in such a way to save the land from perishing. In a secret underground temple many people and their arms meet to fulfill the ritual duel-sacrifice: the Batinites, the runaway Kabireans, a revenger pursuing his foes (who earlier had been shown as an episodic character), Chan Unkor with his Unicorn, the Kabir Executioner and other personnages...
When the duel was in its full swing, a woman messenger arrived from a village situated near the border: it has been attacked by the nomads. The invasion began! The ritual was interrupted; the heroes ride as soon as possible to meet the fate awaiting them in the ravaged village...

            Book 3: Shulma

            The inhabitants of the village have been all slaughtered; their Brilliants are also dead and thrown down into a well. The advanced detachment of the Shulmus attack the company of the heroes, the battle begins; in the last moment the Kabireans are supported by their friends (both men and their Brilliants) who had followed them secretly. During the battle the Kabireans managed to overcome the interdiction to kill and defeat the Shulmus utterly; those who were lucky to stay alive were taken as prisoners. The nomads are overwhelmed by the fighting skills of their enemies, moreover, due to a casual coincidence of words they suppose Chan Unkor to be the incarnation of the Yellow God Mo, the highest war deity of Shulma. During the duel between Chan Unkor and the chief of Shulmus scouts Chan's right hand, made of iron, is uncovered by chance, and this put an end to all doubts of the Shulmus.
The Kabireans go to Shulma; Kush-Tengry, a clairvoyant shaman abiding in the steppe goes to meet them because he forebodes great changes. Having arrived to a holy place where it is forbidden to fight, the Kabireans and the shaman soon found common language. It comes out that some time ago a High Gurkhan (chief governor) had appeared in Shulma and united all tribes in order to lead them to Kabir. This Gurkhan is evidently a native Kabirean. And Cinqueda, a short sword (his Brilliant) in its turn united the intelligent arms of the Shulmus that stayed until then in a savage state. In the holy place a variety of events happen until the Shulmus hords surround it.
There follows a duel between Gurkhan and Chan Unkor. A stone thrown unexpectedly from a sling stunned the Kabirean, but the Unicorn and the iron hand save his life; while Chan is unconscious, the Unicorn, controls the iron hand holding it and continues to fight. When Chan comes to his senses he joins the battle, tears off the armour of the defeated Gurkhan - and finds out that the leader of the Shulmus is a woman!
The ashamed nomads try to kill their former leader, but the Kabireans prevent them from doing this. The body-guards of the impostor Gurkhan take Chan's side believing him to be the god.

            Epilogue: Ambassadors from Shulma (the shaman Kush-Tengry and a friend of Chan Unkor's) come to the Kabirean Emirate. They meet the old Emir and the jester Druddle who had survived only by pure chance. There's no peace in the Emirate. The extremist part of the Batinites raised their heads. The peace treaty with Shulma seems to promise a happy end - but already a smith and an alchemist demonstrate in the presence of Emir the first sample of an arquebuse and the action of a powder bomb, proposing to use the new arms for the overcoming of the inner and external enemies.
A new epoch stnds on the threshold. This world would never again be the same it had been before...

            This tale is told in turns by the sword Unicorn and its Carrier Chan Unkor. The action unfolds on the background of the crucial changing of the whole world's destinies. The numerous battle episodes are followed by philosophical discourses and dialogues, together with the psychological portraits of the heroes; original ideas are formulated, both ethic and fantastic. The adventures of the main heroes sometimes are tragical, but here and there humour and soft irony are woven into them. Besides this the novel contains several poetic fragments.
The novel is written on the merge of "fantasy" and "alternative history". It combines dynamic plot with deep philosophical and psychological problems, in particular with moral aspects of fighting arts.

            The novel "THE WAY OF THE SWORD" was highly appreciated by the readers; it became an extremely popular book. This novel was published eight times in Russia, the number of copies amount more then 125.000.
The novel "The Way of the Sword" got "The Great Zilant" prize at "ZilantCon" SF & Fantasy Festival in Kazan (Russia) in 1999.

"A HERO MUST BE ALONE" (novel in two parts, the whole volume is about 149.000 words, 1995.)

First part: "THE SACRIFICES".
The first book (written in the style that can be named "mythological realism") tells about a scarcely known period in the life of Hercules, the greatest hero of Ancient Greece: from his conceivement to the beginning of his famous deeds. The young Alcydes (such is the real name of Hercules) becomes the point where different interests are clashed: those of the Olympic family, of the Tytans overthrown into the Tartar and the mysterious Fallen that shared the fate of the older generation of the Immortal as well as of many people. As the result the future hero and his twin brother Iphycles (whom Pindar, Homer and Appolodor remembered but the later authors have forgotten) become the hostages of alien intrigues. Attempt upon the life of Alkmene, the last beloved of Zeus the Thunderer even before she gave birth to the twins, ominous fits of madness that pursue the young hero from his childhood, the altars of the Obsessed by Tartar smoking with the blood of human sacrifices, a deadly dangerous secret that the earthly father of Alcydes, Amphitrion the grandson of Perseus, must keep all his life and even after his death; and all this accompanied with concrete, specific details of the period that later on the scientists will call the XIII century B. C.
The Amphitriad brothers, their mother Alkmene and father Amphitrion, Olympic gods, satyres and centaurs are shown as live beings, without the conventional features well-known to everybody who is acquainted with adapted editions of Greek myths. The events and characters that are mentioned in the books only in passing come unexpectedly to the scene, and the pretty fairy-tale becomes a stern reality. The gods are tormented with doubts, the heroes shed tears, and the inexorable shadow of the Iron Age, cold and strange, hangs over the sunny Hellas.

Second part: "THE PRIESTS".
The second book tells about the events that took place after Hercules (with the help of his twin brother) fulfilled his famous twelve deeds (the deeds as such are but briefly mentioned).
Now Hercules must perform the most difficult deed: to overcome his own madness. Even the almighty gods cannot help him (indeed they are not too eager to help him). The gods need Hercules only as a weapon for the future apocalyptic battle with the tribe of Giants, unassailable for the Olympians but assailable for the mortal warriors.
And the hour of the decisive battle comes, and Hercules sees in reality the nightmares that pursued him during many years.
The brothers together with the gods win the battle. But after it the gods betray their saviours because their strength frightens them. And they begin to persecute the heroes systematically throughout Hellas.

The elite Collector's edition of this novel was published in Ukraine in 2004.
The novel "A Hero Must Be Alone" got the Prize of the Writers' Association of Moldavian Pridnestrovyan Republic in 1997.

"STEPCHILDREN OF THE EIGHTH COMMANDMENT" (novel, about 58.000 words, 1996.)
In a distant village Shaflary in the lower part of Tatra mountains lives an old man Samuel-batsa; his adopted children are strangely gifted: they seem to be like all other people, but they can do such things that ordinary people shouldn't be able to do. They are thieves, all of them, but not those who rob somebody's money or break into the houses; they take only the other people's thoughts, hopes, abilities and knowledge and they use all this for themselves. And those whom they robbed forget completely all that had been taken from them and even ignore that they have been robbed at all. Samuel's children live rather well: Jan is the abbot in a Benedictine monastery, and he's soon to become a bishop, for many people believe him to be a saint, because they feel relieved of all sins and fears after they confessed to the reverend Jan; Teresa is the wife of a rich merchant and her husband owes much of his success to her. Michal is the voivode in a noble lord's castle, he married a girl whom he loved, and not without profit; such luck is a rare thing, and besides he's a skilled master of fencing and in XVII century such skills are very good payed for. Only the youngest sister Martha was unlucky: she had been the companion and the best friend of the Baroness von Eisendorf who introduced her to the high society in Vienna, but she had lost her place because she fell in love with a common thieve, the merry Joseph. And when she got seriously ill and was at the verge of dying Joseph payed the price of her life to the Death by selling his own soul to the Devil. They agreed that in an appointed moment Joseph should commit the suicide. But when the moment comes Martha succeeds to take the soul of her beloved from the One who had the right to possess it. But a human soul is heavy, heavier than petty thoughts or knowledge, it's difficult to carry it, and Martha failed to retain Joseph's soul; it entered the body of his dog that was sitting and vailing at his master's body... And the lovers flee from the Devil, they cross many countries until they come to Martha's native land and ask her borther Jan the abbot for help. But even within the walls of his monastery evil people and strange creatures lie in wait for Martha. When the news comes that the old Samuel had died in some strange way all his adopted children come together. Short was their travel to Shaflary, but full of dangers and adventures. There at last they learn everything. The end is rather unexpected and almost happy...
This novel is written in a style usual for H. L. Oldie, that of "philosophical fantasy hit", but this time it is more like a classical historical novel and contains accordingly a good deal of romance, jealousy, happy and unhappy love, duels, misticism and so on. The plot is as complicated as it should be in the violent XVII century.

The novel "Stepchildren of the Eighth Commandment" was awarded in 1997 with the "MoonSword" prize as "the best mistic and horror novel"; some parts of it were used for a radio show.

"MESSIAH CLEANS THE DISK" (novel, about 118.000 words, 1996.)
The Shaolin monastery is famous in the Chinese Empire in the enlightened XV century. There live the monks highly skilled in the arts of fighting and the Emperor himself regards them with favour. The reverend Chzhan Vo belonging to the highest rank of the monastery administration is at the same time the chief of the Emperor's secret police; the Shaolin treasury is full ofprecious things, thousands of peasants work in the fields belonging to the monastery. It is not strang because about half a century ago the warriors clad in yellow attires to the leader of the uprising of "red bandages" assisting him to drive the Mongol invaders back to the northern steppes and helped him, a simple peasant Chzhu Younchzhan, to ascend the throne of the Emperors of China. The policy of the Middle Empire is silently and inevitably directed by the invisible hands bearing the signs of the dragon and tiger. But strange things do happen in this world of vanity... In one of the towns of China an esteemed merchant all of a sudden came secretly to the house of an eminent dignitary and tore to pieces a rare flower and then pierced his own heart with a knife; then the Eighth Aunt, the wife of a humble dyer, attacked the bodyguards of the Emperor's brother and killed half of them, after which she broke the spine of the favourite little dog of the concubine Suan and cut her own throat with the governor's sword. Never before had the esteemed merchant attempted to be a thieve, never had the Eighth Aunt been skilled in any fighting arts, but on the third day after the death of both criminals very strange spot appeared on their bodies: the signs of the dragon and tiger.
And it is not by chance that the monk with shaven head advised the judge Bao who was appointed to investigate these strange cases to be not too diligent in his enquiries. What in fact is going on in the famous monastery, why the shadow of the patriarch Damo haunts it? It is he, the Bearded Barbarian, who long ago founded the monastery, but his goal had been neither the hoarding of gold nor the political games... Why were the Laws of Karma broken, where did the epidemic of the Buddah Madness come from, why are the dead rising from their graves and how could enter the monastery the strange boy now and then employing in his speech the hackers' slang of the end of the XXth century? The answers to all these questions the reader is to find together with the judge Bao, the Daosian wizard Lan Daosin and other personnages of this novel combining several genre of fiction: mistical fantasy, cyberpunk, alternative history and, of course, the "philosophical thriller", which still is the favourite style of Henry Lion Oldie.

The novel "Messiah Cleans the Disk" was admitted to the list of the Moscow bestsellers (9th place in the general rating).
In 1997 it was given the prize of the Association of Russian-Language Writers of Israel "For an outstanding contribution in the development of modern Russian litterature".
In 1999, at "Star Bridge" SF & Fantasy Festival in Kharkov (Ukraine) H. L. Oldie received "The Black Belt" (1-st dergee) as a "Fan-Do Master" -- for some fighting fragments from the novel "Messiah Cleans the Disk".

"LET THEM DIE" (novel, about 67.000 words, 1996.)
This is the world described in the novel "The Way of the Sword", but now about three or four hundred years have passed there. The few "Brilliants" (cold arms having the mind of their own) that survived dwell in "prisons" and "almhouse", i.e. in museums and private collections. Human civilisation went completely out of their influence, and intelligent swords and halberds remain only in the fairy-tales or in endless TV "fantasy" serials like the famous "Chan-with-the-Iron-Hand". The progress had been developing fast and wide during all these centuries, and the former world of Chan Unkor his sword Unicorn became almost similar the one familiar to us: skyscraper buildings, telephones, television, automobiles, computers, fire arms and the regional conflicts between the countries that appeared after the splitting of the Kabirean Emirate... In short, the world becomes simple and comprehencive. But... In this "simple and comprehencive" world very unusual things happen. Almost for a month an epidemic of sleepiness rages throughout the whole country which nobody can explain, people perish by tens because of a mysterious and also unexplained "self-shooting" disease; it is manifested in the sudden explosions of the fire arms held by one's hand or in the arms beginning to shoot all by themselves; sometimes one and the same nightmare haunts hundreds of people until, being not able to support it any longer, they kill themselves...
In this novel the reader gets acquainted with a strange little girl hiding beneath her old shawl a dozen of missile knives and killing with them four heavily armed terrorists, with a historian Rashid-al-Shinby who sees wonderful dreams, with the doctor Cadal Khanuman who tries to cure people suffering from the schysoid nightmares and many others. Troubles happened within the criminal klan "Alamut"; policemen began secret investigation. And they found that all ways are leading to the priveleged mekhteb (colledge) "Star hour" where all members of administration are a bit too fond of astrology. When comes the night of Nauruse, the New Year, all of the main heroes gather inside the colledge fence. What will be the price that they'll have to pay in order to go out, to remain humans, not to fall to the abyss of fear, and inevitable tragedy? Is it easy to be human when one can't discern visions from reality, when former friends become enemies, the pistols fail to shoot but the knives don't miss their targets as usual. Soon the atmosphere becomes tense, the "spiders in the glass" are ready to fight for their lives, and the first blood has been already spilled... What will be the end of this crazy night of Nauruse? What will the coming year bring to the people locked in the mekhteb -- and not only to them but to the whole Mankind?
This novel is not directly (by its plot) connected with "The Way of the Sword" although the action takes place in the same world. Both books can be read separately. But together they form a kind of dilogy.

The book "Let Them Die" was admitted to the list of the Moscow bestsellers (3rd place in the general rating).

"TO PUT THE SOUL IN" (novelette, about 12.000 words, 1996.)
The troubles began in the fishermen settlement at the little Stream Island near the South Carolina shores when the white shark had been caught whose belly was ornamented with the blue patterns highly reminding the tattooing. The McEvans brothers who caught the rare fish wanted to sell it to the scientists, but nobody wanted to buy it. Then the brothers got enraged and decided to kill the useless creature. But they failed to do that because the net with which the bay was fenced turned out to be broken and the shark had disappeared through a big hole. The following day the sea became empty: the fishermen could catch not a single fish and returned home empty-handed. Only the ominous triangular could be seen at the sea surface around the unlucky island. So what had happened? Did the shark itself broke the net or somebody helped it? How is related to these dark events the mysterious death of an emigrant youth who at the beginning asked himself for the permission to feed the keen-toothed prisoner? The death of one of the McEvans brothers seems not very decent too... All this story unfolds in the presence of a learned ichtiologist Dr Alexander Flaxman who in his turn arrived to the Stream Island in rather an unusual way. The tensions between people in the local bar grow quickly for while the eye-witnesses are telling what they have seen still new and new details come to the light, and in the end the last and bloody act of the tragedy which began a fortnight ago was played. But only the old priest Mbete Lakemba who once lived in the Fiji Isles seems to be aware of the real state of affairs: the white people have awakened the mighty spirit N'daku-Wanga and now are reaping the fruits of their own imprudence...

"THE BLACK TROUBLE-MAKER" (novel in three volumes: "Thunderstorm In Begininglessness" (about 108.000 words), "Net For World Lords" (about 112.000 words) and "Go Where You Want" (about 102.000 words); 1996-1997.)
Our world stands on the verge of Kali-Youga, the Era of Darkness. The lightnings of the heavenly weapons sparkle over the Fields of Kuru, which became the scene of the greatest of battles. Great heroes and ordinary warriors perish one after another and even Gods themselves are now unable to stop this slaughter. The world approaches its end, daemons penetrate to the gardens of Paradise, the souls of the dead refuse to go to the Blissful halls and to the Hell, and a shadow of the future rises over the ashes of past: it is the Lord Krishna, the Black Trouble-Maker with his favourite flute in hand. Who is he in fact, a rebellious avatar of divine entity, what does he want? But the Era of Darkness wasn't finished after the world's end, it just began, as well as the stories of the terrible god Indra the Thunderer the bull among the followers of Rama-with-an-Axe, and three of his disciples who perished at the Fields of Kuru. After you have read the book it is impossible to forget the images of the giant Gangea the Terrible, or the priest-homunculus Brahman-of-the-Casket, both passionate and passionless, or the merry Karna-Long Ears who gave his invulnerability and the divine rank for the possibility to live and to die by his own choice. In this book each personnage has the personality of his own easily discernible from the others.
"The Black Trouble-Maker" is a grandiose epopee in three volumes based on the "Mahabharata", one of the greatest books of Mankind, but it is not a retelling but a specific, individual approach to the destinies of the Three worlds which became our reality, to the origins of the Universe and the place of the Man in it. This is the book which is worth reading many times.

"WE ARE TO LIVE HERE" (novel in two volumes: volume 1 -- "Armageddon Happened Yesterday", volume 2 -- "To Drink Blood by Handfuls", written in collaboration with A. Valentinov, each volume about 85.000 words, 1995-1998.)
Amazing collaboration of the two authors differing so much from each other could not but result in an interesting book. This novel was begun as far as in 1995 and the last words were written in the summer of 1998. And here it is: white letters run across the blue screen, offerings to the gods of water-pipes and repairs are reeking at the "altars" made of the household gas-stoves; centaurs on two wheels bring to the heart attack the militia-men on duty at the roads, and the City is slowly rehabilitating itself after the cataclism of the Great Toy War... But soon the tanks get immersed into the asphalt pavement, the motorized infantry shoots the inoffencive Minotaurus clad in jeans, and the radio casts a desperate cry: "To all who hear us! We are the City, we perish!" This cry for help will be heard.
The main heroes of the novel are: the writer Alik Zalessky, the detective Era Giselo, the city centaur Faul and the corned Minnie in jeans... human beings all of them. They don't know that the world has changed without asking their permission; they want to live but they're not allowed to. And so comes the day when the sons of the Yellow Serpent Keynary come on the wings of a great storm and they dance over the perishing City and transmute the elements one into another, taking under their control the things created. "We are to live here!" -- and the sky splitted forever is smiling with a precious smile. Fine humour and tragic catharsis, conflicts of modernity and sparkles of mythology, dynamic plot and philosophical view on the reality -- all this provides real pleasure even to the most exigent readers.

* * *

"THE BORDER" (novel in two volumes: volume 1 -- "Orphans Cost Much in Winter" (about 95.000 words), volume 2 -- "The Time to Break a Bans" (about 110.000 words); the novel is written in collaboration with Andrey Valentinov and Marina & Sergey Dyachenko, 1998-1999.)
Beginning from the first pages of this novel the reader becomes highly delighted and cannot stop until the whole book is read. We enter a world which is divided by many borders and consists of a number of separate worlds-containers. The Malakh angels have been guarding those borders prohibiting the worlds to contact each other. The containers perish one by one like the members of a body where the blood does not circulate. And once a strange meeting took place: the two-souled hero, the Wild Lord, the courageous captain's daughter Yaryna, the murderous wizard Yehuda-ben-Joseph, the wise bee-master Rudy Panko and the enchantress Salle Keval who is a kind of conductor between the worlds. Among them is also a strange baby, the newly-born "devil's son", the future Saviour, or may be the Antichrist? They met at their ultimate border, and the majestic Malakhs shivered, those whose flesh is made of light and the soul... but they have got no soul at all. Ukraine of the Gogol times, ancient Judaic mistical theories of Kabbala, exotic lands of fantasy and realistic village huts near Poltava; and among all this there is a man, an ordinary man who strives to find his own personality, and his fate and his dignity.
This wonderful novel combines the features of philosophical discourse, historical novel, thriller and melodrama. The collective project of the writers widely known in the former USSR and abroad is a success, and it's no wonder because Marina and Sergey Dyachenko from Kiev and H. L. Oldie (Dmitry Gromov and Oleg Ladyzhensky) and Andrey Valentinov from Kharkov are the laureats of most prestigeous prizes in the field of fantasy in Ukraine, Russia, Moldavia in Europe and in Israel. Each of their novels was successfully published and republished. In general the volume of their work during last years amounts to almost a million copies! The book written by such a team thanks to its high level will be enjoyed both by most refined experts and by ordinary reader.

This novel was published in Russia in 1999 as a Club (Collector's) Edition.
This novel got The Golden Prize as "The Best SF & Fantasy Novel" at "Star Bridge" SF & Fantasy Festival in Kharkov (Ukraine) in 2000.

"I'LL TAKE IT MYSELF" (novel, about 109.000 words, 1998.)
Although this novel has a real historical background it is closely connected with the worlds of the "ABYSS OF HUNGRY EYES" and "THE WAY OF THE SWORD". It's plot is quite separate but to a certain extent this book is the first part of the cycle "THE WAY OF THE SWORD" because its action begins some centuries earlier. The Arabian poet of the Xth century al-Mutanabbi is the man of the sword and the man of the word and... simply a man in the full meaning of this word. But in the first place he's a poet although he can wield his sword skillfully. And the life of a poet is his song. "I'll take it myself" is a brilliant allegoric poem about the fate of Mutanabbi who had been an emir if not even a shakh-in-shakh but rejected the sword and entered the history as a poet. And this fate was not at all easy... At the beginning of the book he succeded to survive in a duel with a wild nomad, but very soon he failed to withstand a samoum -- and got to another world where he became not only a shakh but a carrier of the "farre". This world is for him a hell (although for somebody else it could be like a paradise), but thanks to the "farre" everyone becomes obedient to his wishes. And, what is more, they're sincerely obedient, people render their services with joy, their souls are changed as the pictures at the computer display. The former rival becomes a devoted friend, women are ready to come to him and even a night brigand attacks the shakh only because the latter yearns for battle. Such a life is in fact real torment for a poet who used to deal with a word which had been cruel -- but real. And the war victories over Kabir cannot change the situation because the trouble is rooted in his own soul. He refuses to accept life as alms and shouts desperately: "I'll take it myself!" What is life and death, honour and dishonour, power and responsibility -- all of these great questions are raised in this novel, and there can hardly be a reader who'd remain indifferent to it.

"NOPERAPON OR IN IMAGE" (novel, about 89.000 words, 1998.)
Japan of the XV century and Kharkov of the XX. Legendary actors of the "No" theatre and our contemporaries, the art of ancient actors and modern karate schools, curved streets of Kyoto and avenues lit with bright neon lights, the meeting at the cimetery with a night creature without face and an advertisment with an amazing slogan: "Your task is to survive". It seems that there is nothing in common between all these things. But there is a man, an ordinary man who was driven out of the frames of time and space in order to win or to perish. When the young actor Motoyoshi killed a "noperapon"-thieve with a wooden sword, when one man became a mirror and the other a weapon; when Death was approaching the Temple of Clear Waters, and the young postgraduate girl-student sent to the hospital one after another six violators -- it means that the times meet, their edges coincide and it becomes impossible to define who had been living yesterday and who is living now, if everyone cherishes deep in soul the wish to possess everything at a time and free of charge... But since we get what we have wanted we cease to be human... Try to take the place of the heroes of the new novel by H.L.Oldie, and the dull reality of our usual world would seem not so dull to you... and not so real at all.

"A MAGE IN LAW" ("MAGIOSO") (novel of 2 volumes, about 179.000 words, 1999).
Vol. 1: "Let's Be Their Way Dark and Slippery" ("Magioso"), about 87.000 words.
Vol. 2: "...And My Sin is Always in front of Me" ("Magent"), about 92.000 words.

            The alternative history with magic. Alternative Russia, the end of XIX – the early beginning of XX century. The magic exists in this alternative variant of our world, but all magic actions are un-lawful. And all magicians are considered to be criminal. The special police service called "The Raiding Corps “Barbarian”" traces the magicians (mages) in Russia to put them into jail. The "Barbarians" are unreceptive to magic influences.
The system of magic in this world is unusual. Every mage must have a pupil to be able to cast spell. A mage is powerless without a pupil. A mage signs a special mystical contract with their future pupil. And then when the mage casts some spells, their pupil learns these spells automatically, without an individual process of teaching and learning. The energy needed in the case of "ordinary teaching" is not spent in the case of such "direct teaching". And the "teacher"-mage uses this saved energy for their spell. They have no different source of magic energy.
But all these actions and contracts are not only completely illegal. The system of "direct magic teaching" leads to magic's degradation. Actually a "teacher” prints their own magic "matrix" on their pupil. But a copy is always worse than an original. And a copy of a copy is much worse – and all the following copies are even worse, and worse, and worse... So, in the present time all mages are much weaker than hundreds years or even decades ago.
The main characters of this novel are two mages: a man and a woman, their pupils (a young lad and a young girl) – and a lieutenant-colonel ("half-colonel") of "Barbarian" Raiding Corps, who resists the mages. Two mages without pupils, who were exiled to Siberia for their criminal actions, find themselves in a very dangerous situation. They find new pupils and escape from Siberia to European part of Russia with the help of their magic. Some criminal and magic adventures follow.
At the same time the half-colonel begins a new secret but unlawful police operation of killing magician's pupils in order not to teach new people magic. But during this operation the half-colonel begins to understand, that the magic system of "direct teaching" may be useful in other fields of human activity. Finally he puts a stop to the secret operation, meets the above-mentioned mages with their pupils and offers them collaboration to investigate the magic system of teaching.
But in a process of collaboration with half-colonel the mages and their pupils begin to understand, that spreading  "the direct teaching" system in other fields of human activity may lead to the end of the human civilization...
The dynamic plot, interesting entourage of alternative Russia, romantic love story, magic and criminal adventures, some fighting, psychological portraits of the heroes and some philosophical and ethical ideas included.

     "OIKUMENE" (novel of 3 volumes, about 275.000 words, 2006-2007. Published 2006-2007, re-published 2008, 2009 (Russia). The total quantity of copies sold is about 60.000 (all volumes together)).
Vol. 1: "Puppeteer", 2006, about 91.000 words.
Vol. 2: "Pupa", 2006-2007, about 92.000 words.
Vol. 3: "The Puppet Master", 2007, about 92.000 words.

            "Oikumene" is a "space symphony" novel (some more complex and interesting kind of "space opera"). A far future. Many human races with unusual "energetic abilities" live in the Galaxy on different planets near different stars. Fantastic future technologies: many kinds of starships, bio-computers and bio-technologies, new materials, nano-technologies, virtual reality ("virt"), travels in hyper-space, plasma- and ray-guns, "inter-faze" powerful guns, a people with extra psycho-abilities and etc.
The main races (all are humans):
"The Energets" ("energetic races"):
– The Bramaines: they accumulate and use energy of personal sufferings.
– The Gematres: the genius-mathematics, they create so-called "gematrixes" which accumulate energy of Universe' structure.
– The Pompilians: they use the slaves for all their needs. The Pompilians can turn any person into a slave with the help of their specific psycho-abilities. They use energy of decreasing their slaves’ freedom degrees.
– The Vehdens: they develop and use their "inside fire" with the help of many bans and limitations they made for their own race.
– The Voodoons: they use the energy of spirits ("Loa") of all creatures and things. Also the Voodoons are very good doctors.
The non-energetic races:
– The Barbarians: the ordinary people who don’t have any developed technologies.
– The Technophilists (The Technologists): the ordinary people who have developed technologies.
The very special people:
– The Antises: the very little group of people from different "energetic races" (except Pompilians). About 150 persons in the Galaxy. The Antises can transform their material body into a wave-body and travel in space and in hyper-space without any starships or space-suits. The Antises have a very powerful energetic potential.
But the children who were born as a result of inter-races marriages, have no specific abilities.
Some dangerous creatures called "the space-time continuum fluctuations" can live in space. Some of them can destroy spaceships and/or kill people inside. Some special patrol spaceships and the Antises in their wave-form destroy the space-time continuum fluctuations to defend other starships. But even few men in the Galaxy consider that some higher and most complex fluctuations are intelligent, and if so, some contact is possible...
The main character of the novel is Lucciano Borgotta from one of the "Technophilists'" planets, a director of a traveling theatre of contact impersonality. The artists of this theatre are so-called "neuropasts" (as Lucciano Borgotta too). Neuropasts are a kind of very weak telepaths, they help other people (according to their agreement, of course!) to do some hard work to pronounce an important speech as a professional orator, to play a role as a professional actor etc.
Borgotta makes one fatal mistake. So, he was prosecuted, and according to the judge's decision he became a slave of a Pompilian legate Guy Octavian Tumidus. As one of Tumidus’ slaves – "living batteries" – he works on the legate's personal starship. The starship comes to an unknown "barbarian" planet – to catch new slaves. After some dramatic fighting episodes on this planet Borgotta saves  legate Tumidus and helps him to return to the starship on the orbit.
During the starship's coming back to civilized part of Galaxy a group of the space-time continuum fluctuations attacks the starship. During the space battle a little fragment of continuum fluctuation penetrates to Lucciano's body and mind. In the nearest future with the help of this fluctuation fragment Borgotta gets some new abilities. Now he can see and hear some true events of the past 50 years he has never really seen.
When they come to a civilized planet, legate Tumidus gives Borgotta new status: "semilibertus" – a half slave and a half free person. Now Borgotta must take part in some specific shows for the Pompilians. Also he must nurse after a big and strong idiot who is imprisoned in a chamber in the basement. Lucciano doesn't understand why he must do it, but he has to obey.
A pompilian woman Julia is interested in Borgotta’s unusual abilities for some secret psycho-investigations. She proposes Lucciano a contract and promises him help with his complete liberation. But at this time a group of Vehden terrorists kidnapped Lucciano, Julia and two little strange children – Gematres-twins.
Many interesting, dangerous events and adventures happen to Lucciano Borgotta further. He gets to know a secret of Gematres-twins, who turn out to be a result of the genetic experiment to pass specific "energetic" abilities to the children who were born in inter-races marriage. The big strong idiot from the jail chamber turned out to be a mad Antis after some psycho-attack...
The terrorists' starship meets the fluctuations, the former kidnappers and the kidnapped try to save themselves and stay alive together. Then they all come to the planet and get into a trap of a local sheriff-maniac. Borgotta and the terrorists together escape from that planet.
The strange and very complex net of intrigues around the mad leader-Antis of Vehden empire and Gematres-twins become more and more clear to Borgotta with the help of the extra abilities given to Lucciano by his symbiont-fluctuation. Finally he helps Antis to return to his normal condition; Gematres-twins found their father who knows the secret of their birth. Lucciano Borgotta together with Julia and some new friends finds a method to form a collective Antis ("Collant") from some ordinary people from different races. Now all the people in Galaxy can live and travel in space in wave-form without any spaceships.
The dynamic plot, striking characters, many adventures and some space and on-planet battles, psychological nuances, humanistic and philosophical ideas included.

"THE WAY OF THE DAMNED" (novella by Dmitry Gromov "solo", about 31.000 words, 1996-1999.)
This is a story about two vampires (a man and a young girl) in the modern town. The main hero of the novelette, Vlad (but not Dracula-Tsepesh!) exists as a vampire about 20 years. He is bored with his sensless existance and by endless bloody deathes for his feeding - but Vlad meets very young girl Elvira and falls in love with her. Elvira gets to know that Vlad is a vampire, she falls in love too and asks Vlad to make her a vampiress too. Vlad doesn't want to make her a vampiress, course he knows that the vampire's "life" is not so good and romantic, as Elvira thinks. But it was their (or her?) destiny, and finally Vlad makes her a vampiress. They love each other, they are almost happy, but Elvira is a stupid yang girl, and he makes two of her former friends a vampires too. The quantity of vampires in the town increases up to the critical level, and the vampire hunter Immortal Monk arrives to the town with his monks-soldiers. The bloody battle between vampires and Immortal Monk begins.
But during all the plot line it seems to Vlad (and later to Elvira too) that their life is unreal, it's only an illusion. They see the same strange dreams of another place. Maybe, they are a sacrifices of the crazy experiment? Or they are dying, and they escape from the death to this illusionary reality created by their own dying brains? And that is why Vlad gets to recognize some cinema and literary cliches in reality around him?
During the fighting against Immortal Monk, escaping from him, next battles and etc. Vlad found in himself and in Elvira some new extraordinary abilities. He must to trust in himself, that he can to fly, to turn into a mist, to regulate his temperature, to break some technique at the distance and etc. -- and he'll realy be able to do such things! But finally Vlad and Elvira fell into the Monk's trap. The sun is rising, and it will burnt the vampires. At the last seconds Vlad and Elvira use auto-suggestion method, and their spirits dislocate to another reality where they meet an astral creature called Curator. Curator tells them, that they came to the next level of existance, they are free from their fears, hopes, attachments... and bodies. But Vlad and Elvira don't want to exist in this astral world, and they return to their bodies -- but with new extra-abilities. They don't need no more blood for feeding, a sun can't burnt them, and etc... But their vampiric essence haven't changed!.. And is the realiry around a true reality? Or it's a next level of illusion?..
It's a very primitive plot line of the novelette. Really the novelette is much more complex, the necro-romantic mood and some philosophical and psychological elements and nuances are very important too.

Interviews with H. L. Oldie

 
 
Sir Henry Lion Oldie, a Kharkov Gentleman
All Ukrainian science fiction and fantasy fans held their breath, waiting to hear who would be named as Europe’s best author at Eurocon, the annual science fiction convention. A moment later, they chanted in enthusiasm: “Oldie! Oldie!”
It seems that the excitement of last year’s triumph of Marina and Sergey Dyachenko is still in the air as Sir Henry Lion Oldie, which is a joint penname of Dmitry Gromov and Oleg Ladyzhensky, has again proved to the world that Ukrainian soil still has the legendary fertility to produce writers.
However, this victory was not unexpected. Oldie had already collected a number of prizes at various competitions and topped quite a few book reviews and hit parades.
Not all readers can read as fast as Oldie writes. By now more than 100 books by this duo are available to readers, including translations and republications, with the total number of copies topping one million! And yet this gentleman from Kharkov does not even think about rest in gone his oars...
Meridian: What is it like to be named Europe’s best science fiction writer?
Oldie: Of course, recognition is a pleasant thing. But we can only bask in this pleasant feeling of glory for one or two days before our creative work calls us back. The new novel Oicumene, the story “Parasite” (Zakhrebetnyk), preparation of the “Modern Ukrainian Fantasists” entry for the Stellar Bridge international science fiction convention and encyclopedia—such is our schedule. It leaves little time for us to recall that we are the best science fiction writers in Europe.
Generally speaking, we have won many international prizes, including such exotic ones as an honorary medal of the Shao-Lin monastery (China), the Moshe Dayan prize (Israel), and the Sword of Northern Lands prize (Germany, a people’s choice award). But prizes do not determine a writer’s merit. His or her books determine that.
Meridian: This is the second time Ukrainian authors have won such an honorary title. By and large, we see science fiction flourishing in Ukraine. It has become the mainstream of modern Ukrainian literature. How do you explain this phenomenon? And who, in your opinion, could repeat the feat of Dyachenkos-Oldie in the near future?
Oldie: Science fiction and fantasy is a literature of free people able to take an unusual approach to our reality. Some authors, however, feel ashamed when called science fiction writers. It seems to them that this title automatically places them into a lower category, making them “low genre” workers.
In our opinion, science fiction or fantasy is not a genre. It is a literary movement, just like realism or romanticism. Fantasists often use post-modern approaches in their works, but such approaches are just part of their tools. Modern science fiction and fantasy poses the most difficult philosophical, moral, ethical, psychological, and social questions without mincing matters. This prompts readers to make a difficult moral choice together with the book’s hero, creating a strong sense of empathy between reader and character. We believe that a good book must touch the reader’s feelings. The best modern science fiction and fantasy books give readers food for thought as well as new feelings and emotions. 
For this reason, science fiction and fantasy is confidently gaining new heights despite the ongoing opposition of aesthetes. We believe that we will soon be applauding, for example, Andrey Valentinov, a wonderful and elegant writer who is also our friend and colleague.

Meridian: Science fiction and fantasy are cosmopolitan genres. Is there any Ukrainian background in your books?
Oldie: Yes, of course. Take for example Pentacle, a series of thirty short stories based on Ukrainian mysticism. This work is an attempt to take a look at the mystic, chimerical Ukraine and 20th century Ukraine with its cities, towns, and farmsteads. Thanks to our writers and cinematographers, we still perceive Ukraine as a big village. So the traditional mystic Ukraine remains the same as it used to be in times of Gogol and Kvitka-Osnovyanenko. But that is not true! Ukraine is now a country of cities, even mega-cities. A new national Ukrainian character has been born. So modern mysticism is not the same any more, although it is based on old traditions. The Border presents an organic blend of demonology and chimeras, Cossack-miracle workers and beekeepers engaging in witchcraft, with all the characters acting in the context of cabalistic cosmogony. On top of that, the story takes place in the times of Gogol’s Viy. “Peter Slyadek’s Songs” is a cycle of long short stories from this series. The action takes place in 17th century Ukraine and its environs. The same is true for the novel Stepchildren of the Eighth Commandment, in which werewolves howl, millers practice sorcery, dead men rise from their graves, and the devil drives a tarantass…        
On the other hand, the book We Are to Live Here is about an alternative Kharkiv from a near future where reality is mutating into myth…
Meridian: It is a fact that not all your fans know how Sir Henry Lion Oldie has come into existence. Dmitry Gromov is an chemist-engineer, and Oleg Ladyzhensky is a theatre director by occupation. It is clear that destiny has brought you together. But how did it happen?
Oldie: We first met at a literary studio called Pioneer Palace. Then, we took karate lessons in school. Oleg was a senior instructor at the time when Dmitry started to attend the lessons. A little later, Dmitry Gromov brought a fantasy play script to the Pelican amateur theater managed by Oleg Ladyzhensky. Although it has never been put on the stage, Dmitry was admitted to the theater as an author. As it turned out later, Oleg wrote poems and dramatic works and Dmitry wrote fantastic short stories. They started to exchange their texts and comments, held hot debates, and later realized that their debates actually lead to new texts, if not the truth. That fact brought about the idea of joint work. Oldie’s birthday is November 13, 1990 (that was Friday, I guess), the day we finished our first short story “The Cinema until Coffin and...” It was about vampires who captured a film studio in Hollywood and started making movies. And they loved it. We loved it, too. That is why we keep on working together.
When we had a considerable amount of serious publications to our credit, we felt it was time to pick an easily remembered penname. King would be a good penname — short and imposing. Strugatskys is also a name that’s easy to remember, because it stands for two brothers. The same is true about the Dyachenkos couple, the father and son Abramovs... But we are neither brothers nor a married couple or father and son. So we decided to make up and adopt a short penname. We derived an anagram from our names and came up with Oldie. But the publisher exclaimed in indignation, “Where are the initials?” Initials for him were like a tie to a suit. A writer’s name without initials, he reasoned, sounded like a dog’s name. So we took the first letters of our surnames, “H” (there are some differences in pronouncing "G" and "H" in English and Russian, so Gromov used "H", but not "G") and “L” and came up with H and L Oldie. But the publisher kept pushing us; urging to invent normal first, second, and last names. So we proposed Henry Lion as the first and second names. The literary hoax gained momentum. Rumors were rife: Who was the guy? Where was he from? If a foreigner, why, then, did he cite Gumiliov? With time, local publishers and readers started to use Oldie in various grammatical declinations.
Meridian: The following question is, probably, not new for you at all, but how do you write together?
Oldie: First, we conceive an idea. Not two of us at the same time, of course. When the idea translates into words, the one who hit upon it comes to his co-author with a bottle of wine (two bottles of beer, gin-tonic, coca-cola, mineral water — but never vodka or cognac!) and shares it. We set off into a long talk. The idea develops, alternative variants drop off, something changes, and finally the plot shapes up. We debate a lot, but we always come to a compromise. Both of us generate ideas and assume the role of skeptic on an alternate basis.
Such a conversation may last from a week (quite seldom) and up to six months (a more frequent case). Later on, when the fantastic, philosophical, and moral concepts shape up, the plot becomes clear, and the main and secondary characters develop, we decide who is to write what. “I would like to write this part and describe this character!” “Then, I take this part and this character!” We do everything on a consensus. When developing a character, some individual traits of the author’s language and thinking unavoidably transfer to the character. And since we have different personalities, the characters we create are also different, which, I think, is good.
When we finish our parts, we exchange them (we live in the same part of the building, sharing the same entrance, and our computers are interconnected into a LAN), read one another’s texts, correct style, iron out mistakes, put everything together, take other pieces to write, and continue working. This cycle is repeated over and over again until we finish the novel. Then we read it over a few times, debugging it, and when everything is done, we take the work to the publisher.
Meridian: You can create any world you want in your books. But it is interesting to know the world you live in. What is your homeland, so to speak?
Oldie: This might sound out of place, but we believe it is impossible for one to create one’s own absolutely original world. There is no kangaroo in any European myth, and the centaur is just a cross of a human and a horse. Some Planet U, New Mediterranean, three-legged and five-armed aborigines, alternative geography or ethnography are, in essence, the same reality as we know, only distorted or recreated using fragments of this reality. We write about “here and now,” about people like us. We just change the scenes, music, make-up, and lighting. But the actors are here — you and I. And the stage is here, too. Creativity does not mean a dream of a “deserter.”  It is just a special angle on the world.
There have been scores of perfect worlds invented. The City of the Sun, the paradise of Communism, the garden of Eden… But normally, life there ended in expulsion, big blood or annihilation of dissidents. We do not need a perfect world. Let us just make our life beautiful here, and there will not be any need for anybody to flee to Utopia. If you cannot find your place here, you will not find it in any other world — be it literary, fictional, parallel or perpendicular…  
When we live here and now, we feel ourselves at home. We are absolutely sure we live in the best world around. Unfortunately, not everyone realizes this fact.
Meridian: What book would you recommend to a person who wants get to know your works?
Oldie: Any book that the person comes across will do. Our books are different, and any recommendation as to their choice would not do any good. We hope the book will find its reader. This fact has been proven over and over again.

 
 
 
 
 
 
Interview with H. L. Oldie by Irina Mashek:
õ       õ       õ

Host: The best fiction writers of Europe, Dmitry Gromov and Oleg Ladyzhensky are, two Ukrainian authors and the laureates of numerous literary prizes. Writing under one pseudonym, they are better  known to their readers as Henry Lion Oldie.
The International European convention of science fiction "Eurocon" attended by delegates of 22 countries named Dmitry Gromov and Oleg Ladyzhensky the best fiction writers of Europe-2006.
Besides this honorable award, these two writers have won numerous prizes at the prestigious international festivals in Ukraine and abroad.  Dmitry Gromov and Oleg Ladyzhensky also play in theatre, teach karate in combat arts school and even compose music. In 1991 Dmitry Gromov and Oleg Ladyzhensky organized a creative workshop dubbed "Second Pancake". Today among its members are writers, editors, translators, artists, programmers, specialists in computer modeling and publishing business.  They helped prepare  and publish over 400 books by young Ukrainian authors. 
Recently I met with Dmitry Gromov. My first question to Dmitry was about the origin of their pseudonym. Dmitry Gromov says:
Our pseudonym – Henry Lion Oldie – has a long story. In the 1990-s the Ukrainian fiction was not very popular among the readers in this country. Ukrainian and Russian readers preferred to buy books by foreign authors. When our first story was going to be published in one collection of works by such popular authors as Henry Kuttner and Robert Howard, our editor adviced us to take a pseudonym. So, my   colleague and I took the first letters of our names Oleg and Dmitry and put them together. So we got a foreign sounding surname Oldie. Our publisher told us to add the first name to our pseudonym. Finally we got Henry Lion Oldie. It is easy to remember and readers like it. – said Dmitry Gromov.
I asked Dmitry Gromov how the idea to write together came to him and his co-author Oleg Ladyzhensky. Dmitry Gromov says:
First time I met Oleg  Ladyzhensky at the theatre studio. But we didn’t make friends at that time. Later we met again at the  karate school where Oleg taught students. At the same time Oleg was a producer at the theatre studio “Pelikan”. I joined the studio and started to play there as an actor. We showed each other our stories. We criticized, argued and discussed a lot. Five years later we got an idea to write something together. Since then we have been writing together for over 16 years. – Dmitry Gromov.
It’s quite hard to imagine how two people can write a book together. I asked Dmitry Gromov how the process of writing together looks like. Dmitry Gromov says:
Usually someone of us gets an idea – philosophical, ethical or esthetical. Together we try to find the best form to express this idea.  Usually it takes us up to six months to embody this idea into a story. After that we split work between us and then we write the text itself.   – said Dmitry Gromov.
It’s hard to count all the literary prizes and awards of Dmitry Gromov and Oleg Ladyzhensky. Since 1990-s their novels and stories have been on a list of the top ten  bestsellers. The story titled “Fear” and the novel named “Waiting at Crossroads” by Gromov and Ladyzheskiy or, let’s say, Henry Lion Oldie,  took prizes at the H. P. Lovecraft contest  in 1994 in Ekaterinburg, Russia. In 1995 the story “The Master” by Gromov and Ladyzhensky was awarded the title of the best fiction story at the festival "FANCON". Two years later Dmitry Gromov and Oleg Ladyzhensky won three prizes at the fiction festival “FANCON” for their novels "The Hero Must Be Alone” and "Messiah Cleans the Disc”.
Henry Lion Oldie’s books were published in a total edition of over one million copies. This number includes reprints and translations. Among their literary awards there are a lot of prizes of the most prestigious international festivals and conventions, such as “The Star Bridge”, “Roscon”, “The World of a Book”, “Bastcon”, “The Portal” and numerous prizes of readers’ sympathy. 
The popularity came to Gromov and Ladyzhensky after the publishing of their novel “The Way of the Sword”. Dmitry Gromov says:
“The Way of the Sword” made us famous. This is a story with a very original plot. It tells about the co-existence of two civilizations – the humans and the cold steel. The owners of swords do not suspect that they are intelligent and the swords don’t know that human beings can think. This novel is a combination of philosophy and interesting plot. – said Dmitry Gromov.
I asked Dmitry Gromov how long was their way to popularity. Dmitry says:
At the beginning publishing houses refused to publish our books. It lasted for over six years. My partner Oleg and I worked as technical editors, managers and translators. I think new books earn little money for their creator. It is true with all writers no matter where they live and create. Only when your books survive many editions and are translated into foreign languages, you can earn enough for living. Only if you are very popular, you can make good money. As far we are concerned our incomes are  not so big to afford us to buy an expensive car or a luxurious villa, but well, it’s quite enough to live comfortably. – said Dmitry Gromov.
Most of books by Henry Lion Oldie are written in the genres of fantasy and science fiction. I asked Dmitry Gromov what, in his opinion, science fiction is, and what differs it from the rest of literature:
Well, what is science fiction? It has the same principles, rules and directions as the rest of the literary genres. However, there is only one difference. Science fiction  allows for things that do not exist in real life. There is a literary term called  “imaginative assumption” to describe this. Thus, science fiction and fantasy literature provide more opportunities for creative activity. One of my colleagues says that in a near future realistic prose will be totally substituted with science fiction. I think, he exaggerated a little, but only a little. If we analyze works by any contemporary writer, we will see that they have elements of science fiction, fantasy, surrealism, mystics, esoteric, alternative history or something like that. For instance, if we look closely at the books by such Ukrainian writers as Andrey Kurkov, Yuriy Andrukhovych or Oksana Zabuzhko, we will find there numerous elements of mystics and surrealism. That’s why we never call ourselves science fiction writers. First and foremost we are just writers. Besides science fiction we also write poetry, plays and compose music. – Dmitry Gromov.
The books written by Gromov and Ladyzhensky, or Henry Lion Oldie, are known not only in Russia and Ukraine but also abroad. Their works were translated into Polish, Lithuanian, Hungarian and Spanish. Today under a contract with a Canadian publishing house some of their works  are going to be translated into French. Over 100 books were published under pseudonym Henry Lion Oldie, including re-prints and translations. 
The works by Henry Lion Oldie attract readers with their deep philosophical ideas, the knowledge of mythology and folklore, original plot, brilliant irony and understanding of human psychology. I asked Dmitry Gromov about special features of Ukrainian science fiction and what Ukrainian science fiction writers he prefers to read himself:
First of all I would mention the names of such Ukrainian writers as Marina and Sergey Dyachenko, Andrey Valentinov, Andrey Dashkov, Alexey Bessonov, Vladimir Vasiliev, Alexander Zorich, Oleg Avramenko, Sergey Gerasimov, Vladimir Sverzhin, Alexey Pekhnik. One of the main features of Ukrainian science fiction & fantasy and the Ukrainian literature as a whole, is its figurative, expressive, and vivid, language. Ukrainian science fiction is also characterized by a combination of different genre trends, such as cosmic opera, heroic fantasy, cyber punk, psychological and philosophical science fiction and others. In their works Ukrainian authors combine different genres and directions. And I think, this is a very promising thing. Another characteristic feature is that Ukrainian science fiction writers are not afraid to make their works both deeply philosophical and interesting at the same time. Still there is an opinion that a good book can not contain deep philosophical thoughts and tend to catch the interest and attention of readers. It is usually considered to be to complex for understanding and boring. And there is an opposite opinion according to which a book with an interesting catchy plot is usually stupid. I’m sure these opinions are wrong. I can say that most of Ukrainian writers are not afraid to write interesting science fiction books with deep philosophical contents and an engrossing story. – said Dmitry Gromov.
My last question to Dmitry was how Ukrainian science fiction has evolved since 1991, when Ukraine got its independence from the Soviet Union and Ukrainian writers got a possibility to write without Soviet censorship. Dmitry Gromov answers:
The evolution was profound, indeed. In the beginning of the 1990-s it was really hard for young authors to publish their works. Publishing houses in Ukraine, as well as in Russia and many other post-Soviet countries published only translations of foreign authors. Figuratively speaking, for publishers and readers names like John Smith or Joe Blow looked more attractive than Petro Ivashchenko. But after some time Ukrainian publishers realized that publishing books by Ukrainian writers can be profitable too. They write very well and are popular with the readers. All those books that could not be published during the Soviet times, were finally presented to Ukrainian readers. Since 1991 the Ukrainian literature has experienced all illnesses of growth. Ukrainian authors experimented with genres, styles  and methods, looking for new ways of expression in literature. Unfortunately in that time some promising authors left literature, but others continue to work productively until now. I think, authors should try to write interesting and wise books, disregarding contemporary fashion and popular tastes. Interesting and intelligent literature will always be in demand. This golden rule can be applied not only to science fiction, but to literature as a whole. –
That was Dmitry Gromov, Ukrainian fiction writer and publicist, “The Best science fiction writer of Europe in 2006”.
