Publisher's summary
Together with her friends, the Space Mowgli lives on the Moon, at the topmost school in the entire Solar System. She’s a fighter and a scholar, and sometimes proves to be more knowledgeable than her professors, why not with the only truly intelligent computer at her back. She can captain the space yachts, and hopes that her equation of the future would change the world. But she has enemies, the ones who had once killed her parents and won’t stop trying.
"This book altered my outlook. It was one of my favorite when I was 14."
"To say that this book filled me with vivid emotions is to say nothing. This book is a revelation, it moves your horizons unreachably far, to the point you can and should strive to reach."
From 154 reviews on Livelib (4.29 out of 5; 1,677 global rating)
"I might still be young and I’m not at all an expert, but NO TEENAGER WILL BE BORED BY THIS BOOK!!! All of my friends are crazy about it!!! Their parents enjoyed reading it too, and I couldn’t let it go for a fraction of a second!"
"The books fills you with optimism and makes you believe in the bright future where anyone can make himself and the others happier."
From 199 reviews on Fantlab (8.2 out of 10; 5,720 global rating)
"The main character, Nikki Greenwich, is very intelligent, resourceful and smart, well-educated, brave and bold; no scientific discussion is too much for her… On the other hand, she’s a normal teenager with phobias and problems, who fights for independence and disputes the others’ opinions. The girl joins a hi-end school, forges new friendships, falls in love and fights with an adult, still obscure enemy. It’s not a magic school, though, it’s all about science… One of the reasons why AstroNikki is so popular is its merge of two genres, young adult and Sci-Fi." From "Special Features of Sci-Fi for Young Adults as a Genre (Case Study: AstroNikki by Nick Gorkavyi)", Katya Borodacheva (a research works competition for high school students)
"Once I get enough sleep after the night spent reading the book, I will try to purchase it for my kids."
"The book is so emotionally charged. I just swallowed it! As for the scientific aspect, I was impressed by the scope and level of the themes covered, from physics and cosmology, natural for the genre, to sociology, history and geography."
From Livejournal Reviews
"Arina is now in the 8th grade, she finalizes the work on her invention, a rehabilitation miocostume for spine fractions. Arina draws inspiration and ideas from the works by her favorite sci-fi writers. For instance, in Nick Gorkavyi’s AstroNikki series she’s attracted by the computer that can help people. The main female protagonist has lost her parents in a catastrophe, and broke her spine. Her medullar was replaced by a computer. Arina finds the idea rather far-fetched, yet she plans to go on with her research that would help the patients with the back trauma." "Takie Dela" Magazine
"Did you ever think that entrance exams can be more thrilling than a fight with a robot??? I didn’t. And I was wrong… Could I imagine that by the end of the night I would turn into an addict, a fan of a little girl with the glass hair? The humorous, unbelievably sweet, explosive heroine and her true knight and paladin, the mathematical and cybernetic prodigy… And Robbie? Point a finger at yet another equally charismatic computer in this part of the Universe, and I would call you a troll, a liar and a virgin." Bjorn, LitForum

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,637
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.
