It's murder in Discworld! β which ordinarily is no big deal. But what bothers Watch Commander Sir Sam Vimes is that the unusual deaths of three elderly Ankh-Morporkians do not bear the clean, efficient marks of the Assassins' Guild. An apparent lack of any motive is also quitetroubling. All Vimes has are some tracks of white clay and more of those bothersome "clue" things that only serve to muck up an investigation. The anger of a fearful populace is already being dangerously channeled toward the city's small community of golems β the mindless, absurdlyindustrious creatures of baked clay who can occasionally be found toiling in the city's factories. And certain highly placed personages are using the unrest as an excuse to resurrect a monarchy β which would be bad enough even if the "king" they were grooming wasn't as empty-headed as your typical animated pottery.

It's a game of Trolls and Dwarfs where the player must take both sides to win ... It's the noise a troll club makes when crushing in a dwarf skull, or when a dwarfish axe cleaves a trollish cranium ... It's the unsettling sound of history about to repeat itself ... THUD! It's the most

It is rare and splendid event when an author is elevated from the underground into the international literary establishment. In the case of Englandβs best-known and best-loved modern satirist, that event has been long overdue. Terry Pratchettβs profoundly irreverent Discworld novels satirize and
