4 posts | 8 read | 2 to read
The greatest philosopher of all time is offering to sell his soul to the Devil. All he wants is twenty more years to complete his life s work. After that, he really doesn t care.But the assistant demon assigned to the case has his suspicions, because the philosopher is Saloninus the greatest philosopher, yes, but also the greatest liar, trickster and cheat the world has yet known; the sort of man even the Father of Lies can t trust.He s almost certainly up to something; but what? "Parker generates a fair degree of suspense... an accomplished performance." -- Gary K. Wolfe (for Locus Magazine)"

Mehso-so

How do you make an unlikeable character more sympathetic? Make their opponent the more odious of the two. Of course, in this case, the demon comes out looking more sympathetic than Saloninus. A twisty little thought exercise. This is the second in a series, I'm not compelled to pick up the first or third.

Oh this was fun! So incredibly smart and well thought out. A philosopher cons the devil. I loved it! #LitsyPartyOfOne

TobeyTheScavengerMonk Okay, I could be misremembering, but I think I read somewhere that this is a sequel to something. Like a prior short story Parker had written or something. Does it stand on its own? 7y
silentrequiem @TobeyTheScavengerMonk Huh. That's interesting. It definitely stands alone! 7y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk Yep, sequel: https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Gold-K-J-Parker/dp/1596063270 7y
silentrequiem @TobeyTheScavengerMonk Oooh! I will have to read that! 7y
