Vovzhin came out three fantastic and one detective novel. These books can be attributed to adventure fiction. In the genre regard, it is an alloy of “hard” HF and fantasy. All three novels form a trilogy dedicated to the everyday life of an employee of the Institute of Experimental History. Although it would be more true to talk not about three novels, but about one published by three books for printing reasons.
For each part is not completed separately, does not have the final finish and, outside the context of other books, the reader sometimes may not understand certain plots of the plot. In their spirit and poetics, the novels of thevil resemble, on the one hand, the series about Richard Blade, and on the other, is a cycle about the patrol of Paul Anderson.

Her because they came out so alive and colorful-Mercadier, Shakonton, Lisichenko, Lady Jane, Princess Laura-Katarin. The fox is especially successful, the Ukrainian by nationality, and the spraying jokes and quotes from domestic folklore and literature.
Next to elements of historical and scientific-fantastic genres in the books of the oven are closely adjacent to elements of classical fantasy. Here are goblins, and trolls, and unicorns, and magicians with sorceresses.There are also the artifacts necessary in almost every novel: the Katgabail sword, “forged gnomes from the true silver of the Atlanteans, obtained in the heart of the earth, tempered by the rays of the full moon”, which “once belonged to the ASU Tyur, the darest from the gods of the Vikings”, the book of true euthermical knowledge, etc.
