Summary
Summary
From one of the most original voices in fantasy comes a heart-warming tale of peace, love, and battlefield salvage.If you’re going to get ahead in the battlefield salvage business, you have to regard death as a means to an end. In other words, when the blood flows, so will the cash. Unfortunately, even though war is on the way, Saevus Corax has had enough.
There are two things he has to do before he can enjoy his retirement: get away with one last score, and get away with murder. For someone who, ironically, tends to make a mess wherever he goes, leaving his affairs in order is going to be Saevus Corax’s biggest challenge yet. For more from K. J.

Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
Full of invention and ingenuity . . . Great fun. —SFX on Sixteen Ways to Defend a Walled City
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
Well-crafted, powerful and downright unmissable —SFX on The Company
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
Parker's skillful control of pacing, expert rendering of characters, and subtle sense of humor add depth and believability. —Library Journal on Sharps
