Contemporary literature is composed of many genres. Science fiction novels and fantasy novels have been in steady demand in recent decades. Sergei Tarmashev is a famous science fiction writer living in Russia.
Starting conditions
Whoever reads a lot knows a lot. Literature teachers in secondary and higher educational institutions like to repeat this thesis for their students. Sergei Sergeevich Tarmashev has long positioned himself as a reader. He regularly visited the library. I followed the novelties on the book market. A good memory allowed the teenager to memorize the content of adventure and detective novels. At 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. My father served as a pilot. Mother worked as a librarian. Parents at that time lived in the garrison, which was located on the coast of the Arctic Ocean. After a while, 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 from a textbook, but from those 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 a special education at a closed educational institution of the Main Intelligence Directorate. The scout career began with a long trip to a country in southeast Asia. Sergei had to be on the assignment for days, observing the movements of the specified object. During these many hours of vigil, he began to compose a story about an agent under the pseudonym "Thirteenth". He composed and, slowly, wrote down. As a result of these unhurried actions, the manuscript of the first novel from the "Ancient World" series appeared.
In 2008, the first book of this cycle, "Catastrophe", was published. Much to the author's surprise, readers accepted the novel with approval. And, as it happens in the history of literature, they demanded a continuation. By that time, Tarmashev had already resigned from his secret unit and was trying to find a worthy job in civilian life. Inspired by success, he sits down at the computer and works tirelessly. Under an agreement with the publishing house, Sergei "issues" another text every three months. The novels "Corporation", "Invasion", "Reckoning" appear on the shelves of bookstores.
Recognition and privacy
The first series of novels from the cycle "The World of the Ancient" came out with a total circulation of over one million copies. Computer games are being developed on the basis of Tarmashev's works.
Sergei speaks openly about his personal life. He does not get tired of repeating that he lives alone. He has no wife or children. The main love for a writer is future books.
