Jeepers - that looks brilliant!

That does look fairly epic.

"So that Nazi, Leo Trotski, and Ilya Muromets walk into a beach bar..."

 

Outrageous. Simply outrageous. I wonder if they later get saved by a time-traveling Putin.

[Svennn]

What I like most is the pre-teen childrens book look of it  

It surely cannot live upto the promise of that cover?

[Willypold]

The two names at the top are Igor Podgorskij and Dmitrij Romanovskij, but I'm not getting any useful Google his on any of them. It's a start, at least, and like you I'd really like to know what this book is about!

Now all that cover needs is a dinosaur! 

[Westfalia Chris]

Now all that cover needs is a dinosaur! 

I bet that if you squint reeeaaal hard, you can see one on the volcanic island, wondering how the hell he got into that whole mess.

So...using Google Images to search for more hits on that cover, I came across several Russian pages that talk about the book. Google Translate doesn't help much, but I got the ISBN: 5-93556-814-4

After that, I searched again until I found a site with a description...in Russian. Using Google again, it says:

Title: I'm going on "you"

It surely cannot live up to the promise of that cover?

I'm not sure that any book written by human hand could live up to the promise of that cover.

[Steve F]

So Westphalia Chris wins a gold star for correctly identifying Ilya Muromets!

But where have all our Russian-speaking members disappeared to?

This book is part of a trilogy which also includes these books:

"On the land and at sea"

"They fought for reality"

I have not read these books so I can not judge their contents. But they were published in the series, which is usually published a humorous fiction.

the book's title suggests a reference to a quote from Sviatoslav I of Kiev  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sviatoslav_I_of_Kiev
"I want to come at you!" (Old East Slavic: "хощю на вы ити") This phrase is used in modern Russian (usually misquoted as "Иду на вы") to denote an unequivocal declaration of one's intentions.
