The amazing, unlike writer Boris Stern (1947-1998) during his lifetime, so short-lived, was published infrequently. Meanwhile, Boris Strugatsky wrote in a letter to Stern: "Your stories are good. Well done! After all, quite a few manuscripts are sent to me, and now I can say with complete certainty: yours are the best of all. ”
It seems that the jury of various competitions shared this point of view. Boris Stern was a laureate of various awards, among them - Aelita, "Great Ring", "Bronze Snail ," Wanderer "," Eurocon ". The latter is the best fantasy of Europe, on a par with Lem and Strugatsky ...
