About the book: 2019 / The second book of the dilogy. The defective robot emerged from the Iron Asp: it tramples machine logic, is arrogant, pilots crookedly, and fights poorly. That's the kind of emperor he is! Now he must kill the daughter of his sworn enemy and destroy the entire planet before it's too late... to save the borders of the empire. The choice is difficult, and the robot makes mistake after mistake, wasting time waiting for a miracle. But he still gives the enemy a chance. The Iron Asp flies to the anomalous world of arachnids and wise plants. There, His Majesty steals starships, chops off heads and bargains at a cosmic flea market - in the hope of saving everyone. Or it doesn’t happen like that, and everyone can’t be saved?..
