The Far Future . The country that once bore the proud name of China is now only a number of warring kingdoms. After the world catastrophe lost not only knowledge and achievements, but also the names of cities and provinces. It is here in the clothes of the Mongolian shaman that the dog-headed Dovesok arrives with the corpse of his friend Aubrey Darger, because only the Infallible Healer is able to return life to a cold body. And this risky operation is successful. The resurrected Darger and his immortal companion Dovesk are waiting for deadly adventures, because the East, whatever you call it, is a delicate matter. The story of the adventures of Darger and Dovesk is a kind of homage to five-time Hugo award winner Fritz Leiber and his cult cycle “Fafhrd and the Grey Mousetraps” . For the first time in Russian!
