About this book

K.J. Parker's engrossing fantasy book "How to Rule an Empire and Get Away with It" skillfully blends razor-sharp prose, fierce wit, and mistaken identity. Notker, a bad liar and sometimes kind man, finds himself posing as Lysimachus, a legendary warrior slain during a siege. This stand-alone story offers humor and heroism with a backdrop inspired by the Roman Empire with twists and turns.
