K. J. Parker Reihenfolge der Bücher

Toto je příběh Orhana, syna Siyyaha Doctuse Felixe Praeclarissima, a jeho příběh velkého obléhání, sepsaný proto, aby činy a utrpení velkých mužů nebyly nikdy zapomenuty. Cizí armáda se blíží k hradbám, obléhání je neodvratné a město má zoufale málo času na přípravu. Lidé nemajíjídlo ani zbraně a nepřítel přísahal, že je vyvraždí do posledního. K záchraně by město potřebovalo zázrak, ale jediné, co má, je plukovník ženistů Orhan. Orhan má mnohem více zkušeností se stavbou mostů než s bitvami, je podvodník a lhář a má vážný problém s autoritami. Jinými slovy, je pro tuto práci jako stvořený.

FROM ONE OF THE MOST ORIGINAL VOICES IN FANTASY COMES A HEART-WARMING TALE OF PEACE, LOVE, AND BATTLEFIELD SALVAGE. The finale in the trilogy that began with Saevus Corax Deals with the Dead.

'There's no formal training for battlefield salvage. You just have to pick things up as you go along. Swords, armour, arrows - and the bodies, of course.' The first novel in an epic fantasy trilogy from World Fantasy Award winner K. J. Parker.

The unnamed narrator of The Long Game is an Adept, a member of an Ecclesiastical order charged, among other things, with opposing a race of immaterial demons, creatures capable of possessing and controlling human minds. Complicating the narrator's life is the fact that, over time, he has developed a cordial "relationship" with one of the demons. Complicating matters further is the unexpected arrival of Amalasomtha, a young woman with impossible abilities who claims to have come from the remote—perhaps mythical—country of Idalia. She also claims that, for reasons she does not entirely understand, she has been tasked with capturing one such demon and returning with it to Idalia. The truth, it turns out, is considerably more complex. Amalasomtha's arrival sets in motion a chain of events encompassing murder, magic, deception, and an array of unintended consequences.-- From publisher's website

A brand-new dark fantasy novella brimming with the ethical quandaries and sardonic wit of The Good Place by World Fantasy Award-winning author K. J. Parker.

Dies ist die wahre Geschichte des Aemilius Felix Boioannes dem Jüngeren. Der beabsichtigten und unbeabsichtigten Auswirkungen seines Lebens; der schlimmen Dinge, die er absichtlich getan hat, und der guten Dinge, die sich seinen Absichten zum Trotz ergeben haben. Es ist, mit anderen Worten, die Geschichte eines Krieges, der alle Kriege beenden sollte, und des Mannes, der dafür verantwortlich war. Ein praktischer Ratgeber zur Eroberung der Welt kann für sich allein gelesen werden, aber für diejenigen, die ein gutes Ende mögen, kann es auch als erfrischend pragmatischer Abschluss der mit dem World Fantasy Award ausgezeichneten Romanserie von K. J. Parker betrachtet werden, die mit Sechzehn Wege, eine befestigte Stadt zu verteidigen begann und mit Wie man ein Imperium regiert und damit durchkommt fortgesetzt wurde. Band 3 der Reihe „Die Belagerung“ Überblick über die Reihe „Die Belagerung“ Band 1: Sechzehn Wege, eine befestigte Stadt zu verteidigen Band 2: Wie man ein Imperium regiert und damit durchkommt Band 3: Ein praktischer Ratgeber zur Eroberung der Welt

"Saloninus is a man with two distinct professions. In idle moments, he dashes off immortal masterpieces philosophical treatises, musical compositions, dramas of Shakespearean range and depth - that never manage to turn a profit. His primary profession - that of thief, grifter and itinerant con man - is equally unprofitable, and he spends his life in constant flight from the encroaching forces of the law. The story opens in the aftermath of Saloninus's own funeral, an act of self-concealment he has staged many times before. Newly risen from the dead, he encounters an old flame - a sort of archetypal femme fatale - with whom he shares a colorful - and highly illegal - history. She has a plan in mind, one that involves both of Saloninus's skill sets: criminality and literary genius. If successful, that plan will lead to the elusive "big score" that will set them free forever. Against his better judgment, and fully aware that failure and betrayal may await him, Saloninus agrees to participate. The result is this ingenious - and very funny - tale."--Publisher

K.J. Parker returns to the amoral world of Prosper's Demon with a wry, sardonic novella that flips the eternal, rule-governed battle between men and demons on its head.An anonymous representative of the Devil, once a high-ranking Duke of Hell and now a committed underachiever, has spent the last forever of an eternity leading a perfectly tedious existence distracting monks from their liturgical devotions. It’s interminable, but he prefers it that way, now that he’s been officially designated by Downstairs as “fragile.” No, he won’t elaborate.All that changes when he finds himself ensnared, along with a sadistic exorcist, in a labyrinthine plot to subvert the very nature of Good and Evil. In such a circumstance, sympathy for the Devil is practically inevitable.
