# Not ready
## Annotation
> It's hard to be an ambassador to an alien civilization when you're just ten.
> And much less qualified than your partner, a spy for a rivaling superpower.
>
> A battle of wits with an advanced alien race,
> blood-boiling gunfights, budding romance, powerful villains,
> one twisted maze of a plot and a well-earned triumph —
> in this book you'll find none of that crap and even less.
>
> Instead, brace yourself
> for the hard work of deciphering alien intentions to go downhill
> in an absurd dystopian world where the Space Race never ended,
> everyone is well-intentioned, and competence is dead.
> But hey, you don't dwell on the negative when you're ten.
## What is it?
I was playing a game with my wife. I decided to transcribe it, and here it is.
This is my first attempt at [writing fiction],
so I can't say for sure what is it.
A novelized tabletop roleplaying game transcript?
## Download
Check it out yourself for free: [en.pdf], [ru.pdf].
## Shared universe
There are also short stories set in the same universe: [In Maxine's Way].
## Q&A
### I don't like your PDFs, where are the other formats?
EPUB: [en.epub], [ru.epub] \
FictionBook: [en.fb2], [ru.fb2] \
Text wrapped to 80 columns: [en.80column.txt], [ru.80column.txt] \
Text not wrapped to 80 columns: [en.freeflow.txt], [ru.freeflow.txt] \
Note that these are UNTESTED, I just hope they are readable.
If all else fails, you can read the source Markdown.
### No, where are the good formats?
IDK, contribute one?
### I happen to know both languages
Nice!
But which one is the translation?
Both are, sort of. The game took place mostly in Russian.
The original draft, for the most part,
was mixed-language direct speech with English narration.
No, which one should I read?
Look, I also build en-ru.interleaved.pdf that offers both, side by side.
Try both and see which one sticks?
### I've got feedback
I'd love to hear it!
