Noon Universe Chronology
Encyclopedia : N : NO : NOO : Noon Universe Chronology
This chronology describes events in the fictional Noon Universe.
It is based on the one compiled by Sergei Pereslegin, using works "Vsplesk v tishine" by Tim Vanderer, "XXII vek" by Vadim Kazakov and ["The Chronicles of the XXII Century"] by Michael Shavshin. It has been never published in English before. The interpreter took a liberty of adding some direct links to the corresponding Strugatsky's novels. Feel free to correct wrong links (if any) and add new ones (if skipped).
