Writer Biography
Like many modern novice writers, especially those who write on the net, Lerner does not spread much about his personal life. All that is known about him is that he was born in 1966 in the former USSR. At one time he served in the army.
After the great power broke up, Lerner moved to a permanent residence in Israel, where he lives to this day. It was there that he wrote his books, and in Russian, focusing on the Russian-speaking reader. Next, we will consider the most famous and popular of his works.
Marik Lerner: “The road without return”
Marik Lerner wrote the science-fiction cycle Road Without Return, which was published in 2011 by Alpha Book Publishing House. It is considered a rather interesting series that came out of the pen of the author. Consider which books are included in it.
- “The road without return.”
- "The road to a new life."
- “The Road to Earth.”
The first book of the trilogy talks about how humanity came into contact with unearthly civilizations. However, they did not want to take over the planet at all, but began to trade with its inhabitants. Of course, at the same time, they showed earthlings the supernatural abilities of their body and other possibilities.
However, there was another aspect due to which the aliens took root on the planet. They could cure absolutely everyone and absolutely from any disease. But there was a price for the service. People who could pay were given a price list, but the poor were treated on special conditions. They were invited to sign a contract from three to ten years and go to work in the unknown. Upon returning, the contract soldiers did not remember anything, but at the same time they returned with big money.
Here on an unknown planet the protagonist begins to miracles. After another sortie, he gains unprecedented abilities, then for some time to learn to master them. He also finds his woman and experiences many adventures.
In the second part of the series, the adventures of the protagonist continue. He is trying to make his new place of residence - the Clan, and also to accept his laws and live by them. The clan, and with it the main character, settle in on the new territory, fight with predatory neighbors and defend their place under the new sun.
In the third and last part of the cycle, there is a return to Earth and various misunderstandings and adventures related to this. And, of course, the discovery of some secrets that remove the veil from everything that happens. In general, I want to note that according to the reviews of most readers, the cycle is very interesting and dynamic.
Series of books “Another Country”
This series of books in print was published in 2009. It refers to an alternative story in which Israel appeared in the 1920s. Consider the books that are part of the series.
- “Another country (part 1)”
- “Another country (part 2)”
- “Another country (part 3)”
For those who like to read about military operations, as well as about alternative options for the development of our history, books will be very interesting. They tell, as was written above, about Israel, about its development. In principle, the entire work is built around the achievements of this country. The book has a lot of historical facts that differ from the real ones.
Also, the work is replete with philosophical thoughts. Heroes talk a lot among themselves, mainly about politics, about opportunities. A very interesting final dialogue, which speaks of the multiplicity of worlds that are formed after the next turn of history (a person’s decision to turn in one direction or another, a key point).
Series of books “Youth of a Warrior”
An interesting series about the world in which magic is present, there are various caste classes. The protagonist of the cycle is the boy Blor, who becomes a warrior as he grows up. Consider the works included in the series.
- “Youth of a warrior”. The book was written in 2014.
- “Land of the warrior”. This book was also written in 2014.
- "The future of a warrior." The year of writing this book is 2015.
- “Give life.” The work was written in 2016.
In the first part of the cycle, it is about the formation and adventures of the protagonist. On his way, he adheres to the code of the warrior, in the first place he has honor and courage. Blor acts in every situation, focusing on his life principles.
The following books were written in the same spirit, which entered the cycle. Blor grows up, becomes a great commander, and then - the ruler of the country. Overcoming various difficulties, he does not step by step with his principles as a noble warrior, which he really is.
A series of books “Muslim Russia”
An unusual version of the development of the history of modern Russia. The author refers to the moment of the adoption of Christianity in Russia, and describes an alternative scenario, when Prince Vladimir chose a different religion for his people - Islam. Consider which books are included in the series.
- “Muslim Russia”. The book was written in 2011.
- “Muslim Russia. East". The work was released in 2012.
This series talks about the modern world, but with a return to the historical facts of the past, so that the reader can understand what differences the author awarded the real story. The main character is a war correspondent, and the duration of the action is the events of World War II.
Against this background, there is a narrative. Fighting, incredible discoveries, philosophical thoughts, love - all these can be found in these two books. The denouement of the story is rather unexpected, but perhaps the author did not want to finish it at all?
Book “Target Unknown”
Another series of "popanadanskoy" literature. The first book Marik Lerner wrote in it is “The target is unknown.” Yesterday's schoolboy spoiled by wealth suddenly finds himself unknown where, in absolutely unbelievable conditions. The village, strange relatives, a new life ...
Already in the first chapter reveals the cards Marik Lerner. The peasant son, in which the main character was embodied, actually turned out to be the famous Lomonosov. By coincidence, young Mikhail is forced to leave his native village and go on a long journey to Moscow, where he begins a new life.
In a big city, the main character finds his application. He enters to study at the medical department, meets with the local luminaries of science and begins his own path. At the end of the story, the author hints that the protagonist is about to get involved in politics. Whether it is true or not, you can learn from the next book.
When Marik Lerner wrote, “The goal is unknown,” he originally planned to continue the novel. Therefore, the rest of the story is logically connected with the first part.
The book “Target is unknown. The gates of learning
The second book in this series was called by Marik Lerner “The Gateway to Learning”. Here the main character is already quite firmly on his feet, rotates in high society, communicates with the aristocracy. Of course, he did not forget about medical developments, and not only that. Remembering his past life, about everything that he managed to read, Mikhail applies the knowledge in the present.
An interesting author is Marik Lerner. “The gates of learning” is a science fiction novel that takes the reader into the past and talks about tsarist Russia.
Michael in this story married Alexander Menshikova, but she died during childbirth. As a result of all the vicissitudes of fate, the main character goes to war.
The book “The purpose is not known. Build the future ”
The third book that Marik Lerner wrote in this series is Build the Future. It is almost entirely devoted to military events in the country, as well as some innovations in army life. The reforms that Mikhail offers are sometimes incomprehensible to the people and rulers of that time, but in the end they bring definite benefits.
In the book, written by Marik Lerner (“Target unknown-3”), there are a lot of political subtleties that show that the author actually has a good command of this topic. Reading a work is very interesting.
The book “The purpose is not known. The winners are judged by descendants ”
The last book in this series. This is the result of everything that Mikhail worked on all these years. The country has changed a lot, new lands have joined, its very internal structure has become different. Knowing the future made it possible to lead the policy so that in the future it was the Russian Empire that won. The hero never returned.
The ending tells about the life of Michael. About the difficulties that he overcame. Many descendants who had access to his records were surprised at the notes and some documents left by Mikhail. Having lived life in a new world, he was able to survive in it, as well as rise to unprecedented heights and help his descendants.
