Quotes from the book "A Born Nobleman" Anton Kornilov, Roman Zlotnikov
“Yes,” Ignatius confirmed. - The same one. Our unique. Unimaginably gifted, other for a brilliant future.
And, in general, you need to do like one of my girlfriends. In short, she bought herself a real iPad, and put a photo of our chief of the criminal police in uniform on the contact “Papa”. On contact "Uncle" - a photo of the district prosecutor, also in uniform. And on the contact "Brother" - a photo of a hefty riot policeman, with all the parade, of course. So this “ipad” was stolen from her three times. And they threw it back three times. How!

About the book "A Born Nobleman" Anton Kornilov, Roman Zlotnikov
What will happen if a hereditary nobleman, a resident of a developed alien civilization, is thrust into an unfamiliar and less developed reality, let's say ... on Earth, in the Russian Federation, today? What will the protagonist have to feel when his ideas of an ideal society collide with the difficult realities of today's Russia? An ordinary inhabitant, not heavily burdened with intellect and some moral values, would simply try to survive in this too harsh, new world for him. But Oleg Guy Tregray is a born nobleman, the concept of morality, honor, duty to his homeland was hammered into his head from the cradle. He tries not only to survive in these strange realities, but also to correct everything that seems wrong to him, and most importantly, the thoughts of people who allowed such an existence. The civilization where the young man comes from is at a higher stage of development than the current alternative reality, and the main character has a long, painstaking work to do at least something in the minds of the people living here.
Oleg quickly adapts to the local realities and begins to change this world for the better, but every minute he gets into various troubles. After all, the authorities always benefit from zombified inhabitants, the intelligence of the wards should always strive to a minimum - such a herd is easier to manage. Our main character is different from other people, just a role model. Handsome, strong, a cadet of the Higher Imperial Military Academy, an excellent student of combat and drill training, and even possessing super abilities. Only he is able to turn this world in the right direction.
The author managed very well to show in his work a real hero - a calm, self-confident man who inspires the reader to fight against evil. The writer brings us the right idea: if you do not like today's reality, then first start with yourself. What have you done to live better? Many people are simply terribly afraid of any changes in their lives, they are very weak in front of the existing reality, in front of the system. Our reality... is shabby hospitals with broken toilets, this is a school with countless extortions for the fund and renovation of the class, countless departments and ministries with corruption and bribes... Isn't it all terrible? And we ourselves produce it, since we agree to such vile conditions of existence. We all want prosperity and well-being for ourselves and our loved ones, but we are desperately afraid to change something. And we all convince ourselves that it is unrealistic to fight windmills. After all, it is always easier to find your own personal excuses than to try to do something.
This work is not just a fantastic action movie with action elements, it is a book that makes a person think. If you go beyond the framework of the collective thinking system, find the courage in yourself, you can change everything. After all, not all is lost yet.

First of all, this book has nothing to do with the Knights of the Threshold. I admit that it is possible to attach this beginning of a new cycle to the old untwisted one, but it will look like a tea mug taped to the monitor with tape. Strange, stupid, incomprehensible, and most importantly, “why”? It seems to me that there is just some kind of mistake related to the fact that this is the same pair of authors.
Now about the work itself. A very obscure thing. In terms of the confusion of the plot and ideas, it can successfully compete with the extremely weak "Elite of the Elites".
In fact, the book is a mixture of modern rubbish with the author's ideas, which he tries to convey to the reader from book to book. Only if in previous works ideas could be called ill-conceived and very controversial, then here some kind of confusion happened.
Again, a semi-fascist militarized monarchical state as a bright dream, the hereditary elite - the "nobles", etc. etc. But those who have read the earlier books of Roman will be disappointed. Nothing new here, everything is the same. Only now some esotericism, superpowers and other dregs are being added.
It turns out that the author himself admits that his monarchical dreams in natural physical conditions are the same reality as "torsion fields" and "Petrik-Gryzlov's self-cleaning filter." By the way, and in the course of the plot, he brings the reader to this thought. Having dipped the heroes into a black environment, at first the author drives the reader into thinking that the black hat is the fruit of the inaction of the townsfolk, their unwillingness to fight, and not at all their inability. Well, yes, sometimes it is. The idea is not the most stupid, although primitive. But by the end of the book, the author himself turns everything upside down, telling us that only a superhero with superpowers can help us. Those. only a miracle is worth hoping for.
So it turns out that ideologically the work is weak and does not have integrity, which makes it well, not at all interesting. Well, besides ideology, what is left in the book? Yes, the same as in any dark crime series on zombies. Is it necessary?

Never wrote a review... I'm 36 years old and a hardcore cynic and have been working for 15 years in a highly cynical field. I really liked the book. Not the plot... not the literary genre or style... not the whole idea... and not the happy ending. The author really shows us how WE are all rotten weaklings inside, and this is worth a lot. Each of us in the mentura, in the hospital with broken toilets, in the ministry with bribes, in the Duma with lobbyists, in schools with extortions ... we all want happiness and prosperity for our children, parents, wives. But EVERYONE in his cell of the existing system is pissing to change something, to go against the system and say this very thing “I strongly forbid this!” Everyone invents fucking excuses for himself why he is weak... doctors say that they save children by working in "shit" and enduring "shit" around them, policemen say that they are unable to go against the system, teachers consider themselves heroes just because they teach.. . etc. Each mini-world, invented and justified by himself, has his own mini-religion ... and it will be worthy to at least recognize this and try to comprehend and change something in yourself. The book CHANGES something inside the reader, and there are almost no such books left, therefore it is more valuable than many others, even if it contains a lot of logical errors and fantastic assumptions.
Rating: no
A superhero, even if not a wizard yet, but “I'm just learning”, against a super evil, even if it is a small-town one. (I even wanted to put the “Dark Lord” marker in the classifier))). Only now such a super evil does not happen in the regions. Well, oh well, superheroes also don’t get to us for some reason. More specifically, we have a mix of Zlotnikov's ideas about an ideal state (the poor fellow-hero falls to us precisely from such a utopia) and a modern mafia action movie "a la russe". The first is represented by pathetic clichés with an attempt at aphorism, the second ... the second has not changed since the beginning of the 90s, when a flood of reading material flooded the shelves. The difference is only in the class of presentation (in this case, the level is sufficient not to cause a negative reaction).
In general, the opus turned out to be rather weak. Perhaps the strongest component is the style: smooth, clean, no frills, but it will do. Thanks to what evening UD to dedicate really. Everything else can be criticized in different ways and from different points of view. Someone is deeply disgusted by monarchist-militarist motives, someone is tired of the Akyn songs of the series “I’ll kill everyone, I’ll stay alone”, someone ...
P.S. But the worst thing is that I personally do not see the future of the series. It is clear that the trademark "Zlotnikov" will be popular for a long time, and therefore make a profit. But a decent plot-semantic development of UD simply cannot be. If the co-authors find a way out, I'll take off my hat.

In principle, all Zlotnikov's books are similar to each other, but, as comrade sinmikhail rightly noted below, it is still interesting to read it. For me, Zlotnikov was for a long time an author who could be turned to when a situation arises - something needs to be read (road, queue, mood, etc.), but there is nothing concrete and pre-selected at hand. I was always ready to take on him, even knowing in advance that the book would certainly contain emotional anguish, a special aggravation of the details of some atrocities perpetrated by the enemies of the GG, and the hero himself would be a kind of knight without fear, reproach and doubt. Standard, but familiar and interesting. However, here, the right word, I was a little confused. It seems that everything is as usual, and the idea is understandable “a certain foreign person (of course, with special abilities, otherwise we have no way for him) awakens real human qualities in people and wonders why people don’t want to be honest people and abide by laws.” The message itself, in principle, is clear, but its embodiment makes you think. Moreover, it is not clear who to blame, whether everything was written by a new little-known author, and Zlotnikov's name was used for marketing purposes, or, indeed, Zlotnikov no longer knows what to write about, and is experimenting with new moves.
I won’t say anything about the main character, he is the same type, standard as an amoeba and completely uninteresting as a person and a character in the book. As the author himself wrote, he is a foreign body in our society, he has his own concepts of morality, which he considers to be the only true ones and in every possible way implants them without caring much about the fates and thoughts of those who follow him (moreover, there is clearly something - some zombies, but the author is silent about this, as undoubtedly negative and inconsistent with the ideal GG). As one "evil cop" rightly told Guy Tregray about his former colleague, who had become on the True Path, "what a guy he spoiled"! Until the very end of the book, I personally was on the side of the “corrupt”, but living, humane and real policemen, as well as the main enemy, the businessman-philanthropist, because whatever one may say, but if you look, this city was many times more sense from him than from a zealot of piety who has fallen from nowhere. Apparently, the author himself realized by the end of the book that the main enemy turns out to be painfully positive, and as a result, his image was supplemented by the qualities of a nymphophile cocaine addict. Moreover, if you look closely, it becomes clear that both at the beginning and at the end of the book there are images of completely different people, and, taking into account the fact that in the course of the book it is not said anywhere about any of his transformation, it becomes clear that this addition was made out of hopelessness so that the reader finally has the thought “yes, how the earth wears it!” and "how long!".
Despite the fact that the book ends with a hint of a sequel, the question arises: "Is it necessary?" Perhaps it would be better for everyone, both for the reader and for the authors, to simply forget about this "fan fiction on Zlotnikov" as an annoying, but useful literary experience for a young writer?
Score: 5
It is rare to find good literature today. And when I say “good”, I don’t mean “beautifully written” or “full of action”, but literature that carries some kind of semantic load. And useful.
This book is very topical and shows our usual life from a not pleasant, but important point of view. The degradation of morality and such basic human concepts as honor, pride and honesty are almost lost, and this is exactly what you begin to see after it. I was surprised to find such a book by a popular contemporary writer. And its value is not in good language, interesting plot or lively characters. No. It makes people better - and this is a rarity.
Score: 9
A little like the usual Zlotnikov (Berserkers, Eternal, Gron). Recently, books under the name of the author are full of enthusiastic semantic content in the style of “Russians are the best, Russians go ahead!”. Alas, but at the same time, the rest of the meaning decreases from book to book. Heroes know what is right and good, and if you know what is right and good, does anything else matter?
It's easy to read, although there were some creasing in places.
Score: 6
It could have been a great book if it wasn't so bad.
A super-warrior with mental abilities, an excellent student in combat and drill training, a handsome man, a member of the Komsomol and just a great guy from the world of the triumph of Justice and Order, comes to us, to a dirty and gray world that exists "according to concepts." The young man adapts very quickly and begins to do good right and left, along the way getting into various troubles.
If the harsh totalitarian years were in the yard of the events taking place in the book, I would say without a doubt that the book was mediocrely written off from the Inhabited Island. But the action takes place in our days and I took up reading with interest. Agree, it is interesting to learn about the development of the conditional Maxim Kammerer in our time, about the change in his perception, about the trials and errors that he could make in an effort to improve our lives.
Unfortunately, none of this is in the book. The main character seems to be carved out of stone. It is monumental and inspires respect, but it is not alive. A doll that is capable of acting only according to a given program. A puppet in the hands of the author, through which the respected Roman Valeryevich broadcasts about the ideal, from his point of view, world. Yes, the world of Eden in the view of Zlotnikov is good, but it is no different from the main character of the book - the same monumental, stone and ... dead.
The novel, as already noted, reads quite easily and naturally, the detached dialogues about right and wrong can be skipped - unfortunately, there is nothing but water in them.
Score: 5
It reminded Golovachev of the mid-nineties. One superhero against our immoral society))). Well, there is enough moralizing, of course. But it is read quite easily, despite the inserts about the meaning of life.
Score: 7
Yes, this book is not for everyone. Not in the sense that “grow up, you, the reader, need to ...” - God forbid, from such moralizing. I'm talking about something else. About the controversy of the message itself, which - being misunderstood (not with the "author's intonation", if you like) is capable of smearing the whole impression (planned by the authors), as they say.
Because, from a formal point of view, both the fantastic Idea and the fantastic Antourge (as well as everything else necessary for “fixing belonging to the genre”) are presented in full. From the point of view of the genre itself - “as per the instructions”, there is nothing to complain about.
But the personal perception of “it happens - it doesn’t happen” is already much more complicated, since it turns out to be quite strongly “colored” by various aspects of the perception of a particular reader. And in the list of these aspects - not in the last place are political and moral (in the high sense of the word), etc.
In the end, truths like “... do not judge, lest you be judged ...” or “... I say to you: do not resist evil. But whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also ... ”- they are far from ambiguous not“ THEY WERE once, ”and even today they remain just as ambiguous. After Millennia of Cult. Alas, this is, as they say, “who studied what”, this is a question - a conscious choice of the Personality. And there is no right or wrong here.
For those who have not read it yet, but are already about to be upset like “... ooh, another non-resistance to evil by violence, another holy fool ...” - I hasten to please: what are you, brothers and sisters, here is such a messy noble that "Streets of broken lanterns" - they nervously smoke on the sidelines. Ours are so “they give a light to them” that you just get pumped. Only now - not "immediately in the face", but first - as a rule, they will say "it's not good, this is what you, my friend, allow yourself here: stop, otherwise I will punish you approximately." Since - a born nobleman, brought up like that. Only the "nobles" - they are not "ours", so to speak, but quite the contrary - they are from another planet, from the opposite end of the Galaxy. Or - in general - the Universe, is not specified.
So think, dear potential reader, whether you are annoyed not by ostentatious, but, as they say, “imbued with mother's milk” concepts of Honor, Dignity, Duty. If you do not irritate - read boldly, YOUR book. Well, if you think that all of this is complete bullshit, a fairy tale for fools - well, don’t read it, it turns out - it’s not yours
Score: 10
Probably, first of all, the book will be of interest to those who had even the slightest relation to the army, because ninety percent of the action in it takes place within the military unit and the small army team itself. Several conscripts end up in the “troops”, where they face the oppression of hazing and the absolute indifference of the “fathers-commanders”.
And who knows what the fate of the guys would have been if one of them had not been ... But who Oleg was, alas, is not entirely clear from the text of the first book. The authors preferred to leave the mystery of the appearance of this man for later.
There are enough sad moments in the novel, as well as a few straightforward philosophy. But it reads well, and there is a desire to find out what happened next.
The name of Roman Zlotnikov is known to all fans of the combat fantasy genre. He wrote the book "A Born Nobleman" in collaboration with Anton Kornilov. Here you can see a very eventful plot. The protagonist is a hitman, but most often in books it is our person who finds himself on an alien planet or in a parallel world, but here - on our planet there was a stranger. This is already a very interesting idea.
On the one hand, the hero seems too young and sometimes naive, which will attract teenage readers more, but on the other hand, you need to keep in mind that the book contains a lot of cruel, even disgusting, scenes. Here you can see the idea of an ideal state, as well as think about whether it is realistic to build it.
Oleg is a subject of the great Empire, a cadet of the Higher Military Academy, he has outstanding abilities and martial art skills. He is used to living in a world where goodness and justice reign. And so Oleg somehow ended up on our planet. He saw that everything here was not as perfect as he was used to. Oleg will try to show how one should really live, how important kindness and good deeds are. And how much he will succeed, how easy it will be for him to get used to our world with its shortcomings, is another question.
The work belongs to the fantasy genre. It was published in 2012 by AST. This book is part of the Born Nobleman series. On our site you can download the book "A Born Nobleman" in fb2, rtf, epub, pdf, txt format or read online. The rating of the book is 4 out of 5.
