The novel “The Path of Glory and Sorrow” is the third and final book of the cycle “Fools and Heroes.” Before us lies a distant future. Earth has become a bargaining chip in the war between two alien civilizations. For snеrg’ers and vulf’onds, people are like mice bothering in a house that the invaders have picked for themselves. Hideous creatures bred by the occupiers specifically for the extermination of planets wiped out most of Earth’s population. But some people survived. Having built fortifications on the surface of Earth and founded colonies in space, they wage what seems like a pointless struggle against the powerful conquerors.
In the third book, the paths of the heroes from the two previous novels converge. Now they act together: a human who has been given the gift of controlling metals; teenage girls trained by the vulf’onds and who gained the ability to move through space; a soldier who has learned to subdue the monsters created by the snergs. Their common path leads to a congress that will decide the fate of humanity. And the invader will get resistance—thanks to weapons the Earthlings unexpectedly received from him himself. Victory or death? Fools or heroes? To understand this, listen to the story until the end.
