Nikolai Basov began to seriously engage in writing books since 1992, but the first book was published only in 1995, It was a fantastic Thriller “trap”.
The Author collaborated with the publishers “Armada”, “the alpha-the book”, “Apostrophe". Most of the books issued in the publishing house «Eksmo».
The Dialogue “Ilya Rus» books written under the pseudonym B. Ft (1996-1977.) of crime fiction with elements of the supernatural.
A Series of “Magic unknown” consists of three novels in the fantasy genre – “Magic unknown», «looking for the unexpected”, “magic”. The fourth part is “the Collision of magic” is not complete, although since the writing of the third book it's been 7 years.
The Cycle about the world of Lothar has no name and is divided into two large series: “the Chronicles of Lothar Citrine” (8 books, 1995-1997) and “Trol Revived" (8 books, 1998-2002). Both series belong to the genre of military fiction (heroic fantasy), and stylistically very similar. Considered one of the best works of the author.
The Dialogue “the Followers of the shadows”: first part of “the Prince of Diodorus” written in 2007, the second novel was not completed.
Cycle the ‘Soldier Stefan”: the first part of the trilogy, “Invincible does not exist" written in 1998, the second and the third novel is not completed.

Nikolai Basov – a controversial writer. On the one hand, his books like the lovers of classic fiction: the narrative is consistently logical, without thousands of unnecessary events on each page. And because of this, novels can the modern reader seem dull, even boring: they lack what is now called the word “action”.
Plenty of other shortcomings. For example, the novel “magic” has been criticized for poor study of the world, cardboard and stereotyped characters and flaws in the style. And dissatisfied even fans of the author who loved Basov for a series of Lothar.
However, do not take it easy with criticism. Bass Nicholas writes more for older adolescents and male adolescents. So intelligent a lady in an elegant age novels of the author may seem not too suitable for reading. While her grandchildren can be extremely excited about.
The author is unlikely to read women – this is a typical heroic fantasy about brutal and courageous heroes, fighters against global evil, and particular cases of injustice, and what path you need to go through to become this character.
In General, as already said, for boys 14-16 years old, these books will be the right choice. But a more Mature and sophisticated readers will immediately find thousands of flaws, which you can throw to read these books: there are many works in the same genre, but written more cleverly, stereotypedthe characters and recognizable story lines, inconsistency of different parts of the narrative to the real facts, the primitiveness of the main idea, etc.
But if the reader clearly understands what to expect from these books and he wanted to read something from the classic “correct” of heroic fantasy where a lone hero saves everyone and everything, the book of Nikolai Basov – one of the best options.
