late last week or early this week to the people that ordered them. So,
we may expect soon our copies of:

Dark
is the Sun in Moscow |
|
|
24 Aug
2015
Publisher
Polaris (Riga & Moscow) had 23 omnibuses with Philip
José Farmer's work in the series Миры
Филипа Фармера (Worlds
of Philip Farmer). They were published in the years from
1996 till 1998.
In 2013 there came a book that feels and looks a lot like one of the
above series, but it is not! The series name suggests as such: Миры
Поляриса (Worlds of Polaris).
This book, Темное солнце, a
translation of Dark is the Sun, has no
publisher's name and no ISBN. Maybe it is an illegal publication...
We added this one on the book page.

Gate of Time from Estonia |

|
18 Aug
2015
Earlier
this month we had a first time publication from Uzbekistan,
this time is it Estonia that is a 'new' country in the bibliography.
Publisher Melor from Talinn, the capital city of Estonia, published in
1996 the Omnibus Волки
севера. The omnibus has two novels, Дорога в никуда
(The Gate of Time)
by Philip José Farmer and Волки севера (The Sixth Winter) by
Douglas Orgill & John Gribbin.
Also a story by A. Bertram Chandler, "Случайный пассажир" ("Lost Art"),
which story is not mentioned in the Table of Contents.
The book is published years after Estonia became independent from the
Soviet Union, but it is still in Cyrillic characters while Estonia
officially uses the Roman (or Latin) alphabet.

And
yet another omnibus |

12 Aug
2015
The
novel Night of Light
is translated and published three times in Russian as Ночь света (Noch' sveta) in
1992, 1995, and in 1997. The newly discovered first Russian publication
of 1991 is translated as Убить бога
(Ubit' boga).
This title translates back as Kill
God.
Убить
бога is published in
the omnibus with the title Клуб
любителей фантастики, T. 1. This title translates as
something like Fantasy
Fan Club 1.
It looks like this is the first volume of a Russian Fantasy Book Club.
Farmer's novel is accompanied by two novels from Andre Norton, Catseye (Всадник с Вордена)
and Secret of the Lost
Race (Сокровище
таинственной расы).
