New K. J. Parker Novel #1

Reviews

"Part political intrigue, part underdog tale, part acerbic commentary on humanity, Parker’s dryly funny low fantasy is off to a strong start."—Booklist on Saevus Corax Deals with the Dead "Readers who like Peter David, A. Lee Martinez, or the Guardians of the Galaxy movies will find this title right up their alley with similar tones, fantastical plots, and over-the-top characters."—Library Journal on Saevus Corax Deals with the Dead "Parker's acerbic wit and knowledge of human nature are a delight to read as he explores the way conflict is guided, in equal measure, by the brilliance and unerring foolishness of humanity . . . . Thoroughly engaging."—RT Books Reviews on The Two of Swords: Volume One "This is another splendid offering from K.J. Parker, the (pseudonymous) British fantasist who seems incapable of writing in anything but top form."—Locus on Sharps "Parker's skillful control of pacing, expert rendering of characters, and subtle sense of humor add depth and believability."—Library Journal on Sharps "Brilliant."—Locus on The Engineer Trilogy "Skillful plotting and rich scene-setting."—Guardian on The Company "A richly textured and emotionally complex fantasy...Highly recommended."—Library Journal on The Engineer Trilogy (starred review) "Astonishingly good."—RT Book Reviews on Sharps "Full of invention and ingenuity . . . Great fun."—SFX on Sixteen Ways to Defend a Walled City "Well-crafted, powerful and downright unmissable."—SFX on The Company Expand reviews
