When he was six, Yuri Ulengov laid his hands on his first science fiction novel, which decided his literary preferences and future vocation once and for all. His debut trilogy based on the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. video game was praised by the publisher as one of the most memorable releases in the series' entire history, while his novel The Brink of Humanity received the Rusty Artyom literary prize.
