h/cvr blurb: [paras. ?]
Death is missing - presumed ... er ... gone.
Which leads to the kind of chaos you _always_ get when an import-
ant public service is withdrawn.
Ghosts and poltergeists fill up the Discworld. Dead Rights act-
ivist Reg Shoe - `You Don't Have to Take This Lying Down' - sud-
denly has more work than he had ever dreamed of. And newly de-
ceased wizard Windle Poons wakes up in his coffin to find that he
has come back as a corpse.
But it's up to Windle and the members of Ankh-Morpork's rather
unfrightening group of undead (*) to save the world for the
living.
Meanwhile, on a little farm far, far away, a tall, dark stranger
is turning out to be really good with a scythe. There's a harvest
to be got in. And a different battle to be fought.
(*) Arthur Winkings, for example, became a vampire after being
bitten by a lawyer. Schleppel the bogeyman would be better at
his job if he wasn't agoraphobic and frightened of coming out of
the closet. And Mr Ixolite is a banshee with a speech impedim-
ent, so instead of standing on the roof and screaming when
there's a death in the house he writes `OooEeeOooEeeOoo' on a
piece of paper and pushes it under the door.

h/cvr blurb:
It seemed an easy job ...
After all, how difficult could it be to make sure that a servant
girl _doesn't_ marry a prince?
But for the witches Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat
Garlick, travelling to the distant city of Genua, things are
never that simple ...
For one thing, all they've got is Mrs Gogol's voodoo, a one-eyed
cat and a second-hand magic wand that can only do pumpkins. And
they're up against the malignant power of the Godmother herself,
who has made Destiny an offer it can't refuse. And finally
there's the sheer power of the Story.
Servant girls _have_ to marry the Prince. That's what life is
all about.
You can't fight a Happy Ending.
At least - up until now ...

Brutha is the Chosen One.
His god has spoken to him, admittedly while currently in the
shape of a tortoise.
Brutha is a simple lad. He can't read. He can't write. He's
pretty good at growing melons. And his wants are few.
He wants to overthrow a huge and corrupt church.
He wants to prevent a horrible holy war.
He wants to stop the persecution of a philosopher who has dared
to suggest that, contrary to the Church's dogma, the Discworld
really _does_ go through space on the back of an enormous
turtle (*).
He wants peace and justice and brotherly love.
He wants the Inquisition to stop torturing him now, please.
But most of all, what he really wants, more than anything else,
is for his god to Choose Someone Else ...
(* which is true, but when has _that_ ever mattered?)
p/b blurb:
In the beginning was the Word.
And the Word was: "Hey, you!"
For Brutha the novice is the Chosen One. He wants peace and
justice and brotherly love.
He also wants the Inquisition to stop torturing him now, please...

It's a hot Midsummer Night. The crop circles are turning up

aged four. And Magrat Garlick, witch, is going to be married
in the morning... Everything ought to be going like a dream.
But the Lancre All-Comers Morris Team have got drunk on a
fairy mound and the elves have come back, bringing all those
things _traditionally_ associated with the magical, glittering
realm of Faerie: cruelty, kidnapping, malice and evil, evil
murder.[*] Granny Weatherwax and her tiny argumentative coven
have _really_ got their work cut out this time... With full
supporting cast of dwarfs, wizards, trolls, Morris Dancers and
one orang-utan. And lots of hey-nonny-nonny and blood all
over the place.
[*] But with tons of _style_.

(a troll), Lance-constable Angua (a woman ... most of the time)
and Corporal Nobbs (disqualified from the human race for shoving).
And they need all the help they can get. Because there's evil in
the air and murder afoot and something very nasty in the streets.
It'd help if it could all be sorted out by noon, because that's
when Captain Vimes is officially retiring, handing in his badge
and getting married.
And since this is Ankh-Morpork, noon promises to be not just
high, but stinking.

Yes. There's a Death in the family.

over the family business, and everyone mistakes you for the
Tooth Fairy.
And especially when you have to face the new and addictive
music that has entered the Discworld.

Omnibus collecting Equal Rites, Wyrd Sisters, Witches Abroad.
Witches are not by nature gregarious and they certainly don't
have leaders.
Granny Weatherwax was the most highly regarded of the leaders
they didn't have...
Here are three novels featuring one of Terry Pratchett's most
celebrated characters, along with her sidekicks, the fertile
Nanny Ogg and the New Age's favourite witch, Magrat Garlick:
EQUAL RITES
Women aren't supposed to be wizards - but nobody told Eskarina,
the eighth daughter of an eighth son, when she inherited her
father's [sic] staff, and with Granny Weatherwax's reluctant
help she sets out to learn her new calling.
WYRD SISTERS
In which Granny discovers that meddling in royal politics is a
_lot_ more difficult than certain playwrights would have you
believe.
WITCHES ABROAD
The funniest Grand Tour anywhere, as Granny, Nanny and Magrat
travel to distant Genua - to make sure a servant girl _doesn't_
marry the prince.

Who's murdering harmless old men? who's poisoning the Patrician?
As autumn fogs hold Anhk-Morpork in their grip, the City Watch
have to track down a murderer who can't be seen.
Maybe the golems know something - but the solemn men of clay,
who work all day and night and are never any trouble to anyone,
have started to commit suicide ...
It's not as if the Watch hasn't got problems of its own. There's
a werewolf suffering from Pre-Lunar Tension. Corporal Nobbs is
hob-nobbing with the nobs, and there's something really strange
about the new dwarf recruit, especially his earrings and
eyeshadow.
Who can you trust when there are mobs on the streets and
plotters in the dark and all the clues point the wrong way?
In the gloom of the night, Watch Commander Sir Samuel Vimes
finds that the truth might not be out there at all.
*_It may be in amongst the words in the head._*
A chilling tale of poison and pottery.

THERE'S A WEREWOLF WITH PRE-LUNAR TENSIOM IN ANKH-MORPORK. AND A

There's treason in the air.

He's not only got to find out whodunit, but howdunit too. He's not

are, he's going to want some answers.

no law against it. It's called `war'.
He's facing unpleasant foes who are out to get him... that's just
the people on _his_ side. The enemy might be even worse. And his
pocket Dis-organiser says he's got _Die_ under `Things To Do Today'.
But he'd better not, because the world's cleverest inventor and its
most devious politician are on their way to the battlefield with a
little package that's _guaranteed_ to stop a battle...
Discworld goes to war, with armies of sardines, warriors, fishermen,
squid and at least one very camp follower.

h/cvr blurb:
This is the Discworld's last continent, a completely separate
creation.
It's hot. It's dry . . . very dry. There was this thing once
called The Wet, which no one now believes in. Practically
everything that's not poisonous is venemous. But it's the best
bloody place in the world, all right?
And it'll die in a few days, except . . .
Who is this hero striding across the red desert? Champion sheep
shearer, horse rider, road warrior, beer drinker, bush ranger
and someone who'll even eat a Meat Pie Floater when he's _sober?_
A man in a hat, whose Luggage follows him around on little legs,
who's about to change history by preventing a swagman stealing
a jumbuck by a billabong?
Yes . . . all this place has between itself and wind-blown doom
is Rincewind, the inept wizard who can't even _spell_ wizard.
He's the only hero left.
Still . . . no worries, eh?
Terry Pratchett would like it to be known that _The Last Continent_
is not a book about Australia. It's just vaguely australian.

ISBN 0-575-06584-2
Omnibus collecting Mort, Reaper Man and Soul Music.
Introducing the Discworld's most popular character - the fellow
with the white horse and the ultimate weight-loss programme . . .
DEATH
Here are three novels featuring Terry Pratchett's most celebrated
denizen of the Discworld, together with the usual motley cast, in-
cluding Death's granddaughter Susan, Binky and the Death of Rats.
MORT
Death, having delegated most of his duties to his new apprentice,
the uncompromising, gangling teenager Mort, is showing disturbing-
ly human characteristics: drinking, dice-playing and becoming cur-
ious about the nature of Fun . . .
REAPER MAN
Death is missing, presumed . . . er . . . gone. Which leads to the
kind of chaos you always get when an important public service is
withdrawn.
SOUL MUSIC
It's hard to grow up normally when grandfather rides a white horse
and wields a scythe - especially when you have to take over the fam-
ily business and everyone keeps mistaking you for the Tooth Fairy.
But Susan must face the new music that has entered the Discworld:
it's lawless, it changes people . . . it's called Music With Rocks
In. And it won't fade away . . .

h/cvr blurb:
Mightily Oats has not picked a good time to be a priest. He thought
he'd come to the mountain kingdom of Lancre for a simple little
religious ceremony. Now he's caught up in a war between vampires
and witches, and he's not sure there _is_ a right side.
There're the witches - young Agnes, who is _really_ in two minds
about everything, Magrat, who is trying to combine witchcraft and
nappies, Nanny Ogg, who is far too knowing... and Granny Weatherwax,
who is big trouble.
And the vampires are _intelligent_ - not easily got rid of with a
garlic enema or bu going to the window, grasping the curtains and
saying, "I don't know about you, but isn't it a bit stuffy in here?"
They've got style and fancy waistcoats.
They're out of the casket and want a bite of the future.
Mightily Oats knows he has a prayer, but wishes he had an axe.

This is how the Discworld began...
In _The Colour of Magic_ the failed wizard Rincewind burst
upon the world and hasn't stopped running since.
This was the book that started the phenomenally successful
series. Here is the sapient pearwood luggage, a mobile trunk
which launders any clothes put it in [sic] and incidentally
homicidally defends its owner. Here is Twoflower, an innocent
tourist in a world of nightmares and fairy tales gone wrong.
Here is Cohen the Barbarian, the world's oldest and greatest
hero. Here is Death, not such a bad sort when you get to know
him...
They have adventures. It'd take too long to explain. Just
read it!

terry has, more than once, said he feels he may slow down,
or take a holiday from the discworld - and equally often
discovered that there was another discworld story that in-
sisted on being told, or another story that proved to be
as well-suited to being set therein; and, that he has no
intention of writing "the last discworld novel", other than
in the sense that he himself is mortal and that he will not
permit his creation to be franchised or otherwise given the
