This is the true story of Aemilius Felix Boioannes the younger, the
intended and unintended consequence 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. 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 K. J. Parker's
acclaimed sequence of novels that began with Sixteen Ways to Defend
a Walled City and continued with How To Rule An Empire And Get Away
With It Praise for K. J Parker: 'Readers are ensured a good time
and a barrel of laughs to boot' Publishers Weekly on How to Rule an
Empire and Get Away With It 'Parker's latest epic fantasy proves
that all the world is, indeed, a stage, and Parker himself is a
master impresario. Readers will enjoy his comedic take on how
politics are comprised of equal parts lies, incompetence, and the
foolishness of humanity-with just enough flashes of brilliance to
save the day. Recommended for fans of Terry Pratchett' Library
Journal on How to Rule an Empire and Get Away With It 'Full of
invention and ingenuity . . . Great fun' SFX on Sixteen Ways to
Defend a Walled City 'Launches a witty adventure series . . .
Readers will appreciate the infusion of humor and fun-loving
characters into this vivid and sometimes grim fantasy world'
