Once upon a time, a great Hero stole Fire from the gods. Everything has changed since then. The heroes have become... obsolete. They are still invincible and all that, but there are fewer and fewer of them... and fewer... And new ones are not born. And then one day, Cohen the Barbarian looked from his throne of the Agatean Empire at his subjects, at the great and terrible Silver Horde, and realized that they were the last. And after them there will be no one. This means that it is on them that the Last Duty of Heroes lies - to return Fire to the gods. With interest!!! The events taking place in the 27th book from the “FLAT WORLD” series (or the 8th from the sub-cycle about the wizard Rincewind) take place between those described in the books “Interesting Times” and “The Last Continent”. Translation by Nikolai Berdennikov and Alexander Zhikarentseva.
