      Razor sharp and intelligent fantasy from K. J. Parker, set in the same world as the hugely popular Sixteen Ways to Defend a Walled City

      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'' Publishers Weekly on Sixteen Ways to Defend a Walled City
