Kir Lukovkin

Kir Lukovkin was born in the city of Baku: the capital of Azerbaijan. In 2007, Kir finally decided on his choice of future profession, entering the law faculty of the Teachers' University, and he still holds his full-time job as a college teacher.

Still, Kir's passion to tell stories was his strongest ambition. He spent all his spare time writing until one of his short stories, Special Offer, was accepted for publication. Kir finds his inspiration in all speculative genres, as well as thrillers and dark fiction. His short stories have since then appeared in a number of major science fiction magazines.

Finally, Kir wrote his first novel, The URANUS Code, which was published in 2016, becoming the starting point of his Citadel World LitRPG series.

From book 1:

Rick was born and raised in the Omicron Commune, protected from the monsters and darkness of the Expanse outside with thick walls. A place with barely enough light to see by, constantly gripped by the cold. The death of the Commune is only a question of time. Meeting visitors from the Expanse turns Rick's view of the world upside down. It turns out that there are other humans that live outside and fight to survive, while the Commune is but one of many sectors of Expanse. Rick's new goal becomes saving the commune from destruction. Worried about the future of his sister, he puts his trust in the outsiders, escaping the Commune to find and restart the mysterious thermal generators, find the key and solve the riddle of the gigantic Thermopolis—a high-tech citadel created by the ancestors.

He is now a rebel and a heretic and there's no turning back!
