Saevus Corax Deals with the Dead

KJ Parker's stock in trade is a sardonic cynicism, allied with dark humour and an eye for the realities of a situation that epic fantasy often overlooks. So it's entirely logical that his latest is about someone making a living from battlefields in the aftermath of bloody conflicts. That's where it starts anyway - Saevus Corax goes on quite the journey through this book. And you'll enjoy going on it with him - it's a good fun read, as long as you are the sort of person who can find the fun in treachery, betrayal, and corpse disposal, of course....
