About the author
Yury Nikitin
3 booksYuri Aleksandrovich Nikitin was a Russian writer of science fiction, historical fiction, and Slavic fantasy.
Although he was active in science fiction before perestroika, the recognition came when he wrote a Slavic fantasy novel, The Three from the Forest (Russian: Трое из Леса). One of the protagonists is a character based on the Russian Rurikid Prince Oleg of Novgorod, who is a mainstay of many sequels. Nikitin also wrote a couple of novels about Vladimir the Great. Nikitin created a website called Inn (Russian: Корчма) as a community portal to help young writers.
Nikitin's books have a distinct, free, and often intentionally primitive and repetitive style with many jokes, reflecting his intent to keep the reader on topic and carry his ideas through. His later books develop the idea of becoming a transhuman through self-development and survival of the spiritually fittest.
According to the literary critic Sergei Chuprinin, Nikitin, with his series of novels "Three from the Forest", is one of the founders of Slavic fantasy. Some of Nikitin's works reproduce the ideas of Slavic neopaganism.

In the Very Beginning by Yury Nikitin is an excellent fantasy that will keep you glued to its' pages. It really brings the stories to life and makes you think.
This is a work of fiction, Christian Fantasy, which takes the stories of Adam and Eve through Noah and the flood as its bases. It adds fictitious dialogs and side stories creating an exciting story.
With that said, I believe this is an excellent story and the author did a great job of developing his story and the dialog into an exciting adventure. It was easy to grab hold of the story and get captured by it.
I really liked the way Yury Nikitin brought the characters of the book to life and you could feel the personalities of each become real. It was easy to get caught up in the story.
If you want a great novel to read then get In the Very Beginning by Yury Nikitin. I highly recommend this book to all readers. And, if it makes you think, and it will, then more power to it.
Great job Yury Nikitin.
