About the book: 2009 / The third volume of the collected works of the classic of domestic and world science fiction A. R. Belyaev included four major works written by the writer in 1930s. The general reader is probably only familiar with the space epic “Jump into Nothing.” But many modern readers will read the novel “Airship,” the story “The Earth is Burning,” and the film script “When the Lights Go Out” for the first time—these works were practically never republished after the writer’s death. Compiled by Evgeny Kharitonov and Dmitry Baikalov This collection is published with the approval of Svetlana Aleksandrovna Belyaeva
