Before you start to read the first chapters of Memoria, I want to talk about my co-author Andrew Levitsky and our other books, soon to be released on paper in Germany.
Two years ago me and Andrew got together and wrote an eight-novel series TECHNOTMA / DARK TIMES
Foreign rights: Germany, Italy, Spain
Technology and gloom, not two words that share good company so easily, a technological catastrophe? The end of civilisation as we know it? Life after the apocalypse? All of the above apply to this brand new bestseller series from us :)

A bland territory, a sort of cross between atomic wasteland and a landscape of ruins stretching from the East Sea to the Krim, from White Russia to deep in the Ural Mountains where soldiers, farmers, mutants and bandits, only to mention but a few, survive in a world that revolves around food, oil, life and death.
The strongest gangs control almost everything, then there’s a bunch called the “Order of Purity” who are determined to wipe out all mutants. A landscape composed of piles of debris, rusty old wrecks, overgrown woods filled with mutated beasts and a sprinkling of fortified settlements under constant threat of attack from bandits.

The survivors have banded together into various tribes and clans. Some formed religious sects and orders, some became the very influential oil corporations that produce petrol in a very primitive way.
What was the cause of such a disaster that threw the human race into a retrograde dark era where leftover values and codec’s mix themselves anew? Where technology and religion, barbarism and science, diplomacy and war intertwine and find new ways to exist side by side. A world that stands under a mixture of ruling forces that’s full of riddles and secrets.

Technotma is a science fiction series based in a post apocalyptic world, that has fallen back into dark times. The old technological ways were lost in the demise of civilisation, to reactivate them once again simply isn’t possible, however the survivors manage to build something new that sort of works. The atmosphere reminds one of the computer game “Fallout” or the Australian film series about Mad Max. Set on Russian soil this book holds that unknown promise of an exotic flavour.
Technotma, comprising of separate books within the series that more or less indirectly relate to one another, that introduce the four main figures as they approach one another unknowingly while they solve their own challenges, but it will take the combination of all of them to solve the greatest riddle of all ... WHY DID IT HAPPEN?
The reader will get to know the four heroes one after the other. But it will not be apparent right from the start how the hatred between Turan Dzhaj and Ataman Makota will end, or what could happen in the battle between the head of the bandits and Turan, not to mention the duel between Razin and Dr. Guberta.
