Modern literature consists of many genres. In recent decades, science fiction novels and fantasy works have been in steady demand. Sergey Tarmashev is a famous science fiction writer living in Russia.
Starting conditions
He who reads a lot knows a lot. Literature teachers at secondary and higher educational institutions like to repeat this thesis for their students. Sergey Sergeevich Tarmashev for a long time positioned himself as a reader. He regularly visited the library. He followed the news on the book market. A good memory allowed the teenager to remember the contents of adventure and detective novels. One fine moment, when Sergey was thinking about what he had read, he came up with the idea to write a small work himself. He got himself a notebook, some pencils and began to write down his thoughts.
The future writer was born on August 21, 1974 in a military family. Father served as a pilot. Mother worked as a librarian. Parents at that time lived in a garrison, which was located on the coast of the Arctic Ocean. After some time, my father was transferred to the famous town of Kushka on the southern border of the Soviet Union. As Tarmashev himself jokes, as a child, he studied the geography of his country not by the textbook, but by the points on the map where he had to serve his father. After the eighth grade, Sergei entered the Suvorov School.
Professional activity
After graduating from the Suvorov School, Tarmashev received special education in a closed educational institution of the Main Intelligence Directorate. The career of a scout began with a long trip to a country in southeast Asia. Sergei had to stay on a mission for days, observing the movements of the indicated object. In these hours-long vigils, he began to compose a story about an agent under the pseudonym "Thirteenth." Composed and slowly recorded. As a result of these leisurely actions, a manuscript of the first novel from the series "The World of the Ancient" appeared.
In 2008, the first book of the series "Catastrophe" saw the light of day. To the great surprise of the author, readers accepted the novel with approval. And, as happens in the history of literature, they demanded continuation. By that time, Tarmashev had already quit his secret unit and was trying to find a decent job in civilian life. Inspired by success, he sits down at the computer and works tirelessly. Under an agreement with the publishing house, Sergei every three months "issues" another text. On the shelves of bookstores appear novels "Corporation", "Invasion", "Payback".
