Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The 2020 sequel to Sixteen Ways To Defend A Walled City by K. J. Parker. The novel continues the story of The Siege, with a new protagonist (who, since he's an actor, understands he's the protagonist).The City has settled into the routine of carrying on with their lives while surrounded by a huge army that wants to wipe them out. Some people understand that this is not a sustainable scenario, but they're not the right people, and meanwhile an actor needs to earn a living.So once again we have a snarky Unreliable Narrator, who admits to being not necessarily objective as to his contributions to the City's defense. And as the stakes get higher, Notker is bound and determined to serve the City... that is, until he has a chance to scarper off with his pockets full of small valuable things... | |

Bad Actor, Good Liar | |
| How to Rule an Empire and Get Away With It / int_90d6d1c0 | comment |
Bad Actor, Good Liar: Notker is a mediocre actor and playwright who is fairly good at doing impressions, but ends up doing a very effective (too effective) job when he's commandeered into doing an Emergency Impersonation of slain war hero Lysimachus. Essentially, Notker is kind of a non-entity as a person, and thus a less than great actor, because he put a lot of effort into escaping his past as the son of a gangster. However, since Lysimachus is what Notker's father (or himself) would be like if he found a cause he believed in, while still being a cheerful murderer, Notker can effectively "become" Lysimachus, since he knows exactly how he thinks (thought). | |

A Million Is a Statistic | |

A Million Is a Statistic: Inverted. One difference Notker sees between himself and the enemy is that he kills far fewer of his own people, and the people love him for it. | |
