  • Saevus Corax Deals with the Dead by K.J. Parker

    From Bobbie Sellers@21:1/5 to All on Sun Oct 20 14:59:42 2024
    Hi typers and readers,

    "Saevus Corax Deals with the Dead" by K.J. Parker,
    a pseudonym of Tim Holt. Saevus Corax is also a pseudonym of
    the character and finding out who he is and why he is leading
    a company of 500 men to clean up battlefields for a living
    is part of the story. He is on the run with very large rewards
    offered for his capture. He mercilessly disposes of anyone who
    knows his true identity though he regrets it.
    Many adventures and horrid experiences are endured
    by Saevus before he returns to his trade. It has humorous
    episodes and is part of at least a trilogy of stores about
    Saevus and his adventures. If these come out while I am still
    living I will read them. The setting is a very warlike
    world where battles have been happening fairly often.

    bliss

    Oh - I did not know that. Thanks. (Assuming you mean Tom Holt.)

    And thanks for your reviews too - I've added a few things to my list as
    a result.

    It seems I did mis-read "Tim" for "Tom". <https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=k.j.+parker+author&ia=web>
