Many years have passed since Lobsang and Joshua Valiente's first journey across the Long Land. New generations of people were born and raised in the colonies, no longer imagining their lives within the framework of our usual civilization. Joshua Valiente is now the father of a family and the mayor of a lonely settlement several thousand passages from Basic Earth, but he is forced to leave everything and hit the road again. People scattered across many worlds mistakenly decided that man is the crown of creation, which means that all sorts of trolls, kobolds and beagles are just stupid animals. With which the latter categorically disagree. Joshua, together with Lobsang, must prevent a brewing war in which there will be no winners... For the first time in Russian! Continuation of the saga of the Infinite Earth from the creator of the Discworld Terry Pratchett and the famous science fiction writer Stephen Baxter.
