An investigation was launched after claims the books "contained signs of religious extremism".Link DiscussThere were also claims they were "drawing students into religious groups of a Satanic type".
Svetlana Petrenko, a spokeswoman for the prosecutor's office, said they had found no basis for opening a criminal case.
I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
