The Mercy of the Gods

An alien civilization of Karriks has been waging aggressive wars for centuries, destroying or enslaving various intelligent species across the galaxy. But one day they encounter a powerful and immortal enemy. Perhaps the key to their survival lies in the hands of the inhabitants of the planet Andjiin, where humans coexist with a local ecosystem that has a different biochemical basis. The Karriks invade Andjiin, destroy part of the population, and take many representatives of the social and scientific elite back to their home planet. This includes a group of biologists who are tasked with finding the key to the survival of the Karriks as a biological species. Meanwhile, a faction of enslaved Earthlings prepares a rebellion against their captors... The novel 'The Mercy of the Gods' has made it to the list of the 20 best books of 2024 according to Publishers Weekly. Amazon has launched a production for a TV series based on the novel and upcoming book series. This is the first time it is being published in Russian!
