The book is a a fantasy placed in a hypotetical country called Morovia where a software project manager is taught the hard lessons of large scale project management by the other characters all of them having to face the sucessful completion of some almost impossible projects.
The book is kind a "Teach Yourself Project Management in 21 Days" but it differs from that kind of books by the quite appealing story and the well characters. De Marco has good writing style, the characters and the situations he describes in his books can be seen as behavioral patterns inside large enterprises.
As well as some other books De Marco wrote this one can serve as a hands on training on project managemant, people management and risk assesment for the young and unexperienced managers (like myself :) )
