A Practical Guide to Conquering the World
can be read by itself, but for those who like endings it can also be considered the refreshingly pragmatic conclusion to World Fantasy Award-winning author K.J. Parker’s acclaimed sequence of novels that began with
Sixteen Ways to Defend a Walled City
and continue with
How to Rule an Empire and Get Away with It.
"Full of invention and ingenuity . . . Great fun." —
SFX
This is the true story of Aemilius Felix Boioannes the younger, the intended and unintended consequences of his life, the bad stuff he did on purpose, and the good stuff that happened in spite of him.
It is, in other words, the tale of a war to end all wars, and the man responsible.
