Holding the rifle in my hands I run out buy fioricet of the building, creep to the

Sergey Lukjanenko, 30, is one of the t buy fioricet today's most popular Russian
Sci-Fi writers. His buy fioricet first works were published in 1988. Currently buy fioricet his
bibliography includes more than 40 titles of no buy fioricet ovels and short stories. The
Author defines his ge buy fioricet enre as the "hard action science fiction", but all buy fioricet his
works also have a very well defined philosophic buy fioricet cal aspect. The novel offered
to your attention was buy fioricet s written in 1997 and became the real 'cult book' of buy fioricet the
Russian Internet.
Sergey is married, he l buy fioricet lives in Moscow.

Several notes for the reader:
buy fioricet
1). My English sucks. So it was obviously way t buy fioricet too presumptuous of me to
try to make a translation buy fioricet like this. It was my love to this book only that
buy fioricet
made me to venture into this adventure. ;-) I was ho buy fioricet oping that this novel is
really worth your kind att buy fioricet tention (despite my ugly
English?).
2). Some buy fioricet opinions expressed in this book by the main buy fioricet or other
characters, as well as some words/terms buy fioricet used, might be considered offensive
to some Wester buy fioricet rn readers. In fact, one such situation was even sho buy fioricet owed closer
to the end of the novel itself. The concept of "PC" (aka 'Political
Correctness') does not really exist in Russia which fact IMHO makes the life
much easier and slightly reduces the amount of stupidity that inevitably
presents in this life. Despite that, I definitely had to use the 'softened'
terms in my translation in order not to outrage the people (not too much at
least). But of course, something might have still leaked out. Please
consider yourselves warned.
3). FIDO
Some more confusion can be caused by Lukjanenko's technical details and
descriptions of the Net due to one more fact: he writes from the point of
view of the person who was once the FIDOnet member. Also it seems that
Sergey himself was mostly affiliated with FIDO at the time of this book's
writing. The principles of FIDO's system organization differ from the ones
of the Internet. I never was FIDO member, so I know very little. In general,
it's free, amateurs' network that allows its members to exchange emails and
files. FIDO uses its own proprietary protocol. Special gateways are used to
exchange emails with the Internet. Look at www.fidonet.org for more
details... But be prepared to get back not the homepage, but some HTML code.
{G} The guys have forgot to put the {HTML} tag into the code of their main
page... OOPS.
4). The names.
The same name in Russian usually can have several forms, reflecting the
attitude of the one who pronounces the name to the one named. The number of
these forms is as far as I can judge, much bigger than in English. That's
why in my translation I preferred to retain the original rules of forming
such names and to provide this note. Another important reason is that the
Russian name changed according to the rules of doing so in English would
sound ridiculous (maybe for me only, as I'm Russian... ;-) ), not mentioning
that it's not always possible to do this with Russian names at all. Example:
John - Johnny. Now try to do the same with, say, my name: Yuri. Yup... My
point exactly. Below is the example of how the first name of the main
character can be 'bent'. The same often happens to other names in the book.
For inexperienced reader it might be confusing, so I apologize... Russia
*is* confusing by definition, so bear with it. :-)
Leonid - the complete name.
Lenia (should be read roughly as Lyo-nee-aa; don't pronounce 'double
lettered' sounds as too long ones though) - this is slightly diminutive,
friendly form used by relatives and friends.
Lenechka (Lyo-nee-chka) - a "pet-name" form, sometimes also used with
sarcasm, depending on the context.
Lenchik - "pet-name"/unceremonious address.
Len'ka ( here ' means softening of the previous sound, 'n' in this name
sounds like 'n' in the word 'change') - Unceremonious address, a bit
slighting. Often used by close friends without any offensive context.
... and so on. No more forms are used in the book, so I'd better not
confuse you any more.
Another trick is how the names are formed n general. In particular, the
concept of the middle name in Russia. It is not 'given', but rather is the
father's name. To be used as a middle name, special endings are attached:
-ovich, -evich for man's middle name (yeah, they are gender specific!),
-ovna, evna for female's middle name.
Examples: Petrovich Alekseevich - men's
