About the book: 1982 / Valery Kosikhin - Siberian. The fate of the land, rivers, and people living here are sacred to him. A man’s business is the autumn season. Difficult, exhausting. But the writer would not be a writer if he did not see their inner human essence behind the external signs of people’s behavior. Valery Kosikhin shows the great, life-giving power of labor that transforms people, resurrecting the brave prowess of grandfathers and fathers, and rainy, cloudy autumn days are illuminated by such labor. The story “The Last Flight” is modern, it shows how young heroes of our days are beginning to realize responsibility for what is happening in country. We wish all the best to Valery Kosikhin on the difficult path of a writer. Vladimir KRUPIN
