Overview
“Encompasses everything that is brilliant about [Pratchett’s] writing: terrific characterization and plotting, a completely believable world. . . . Fresh, sharp, and incredibly funny.”—The Telegraph
Magic, mayhem, and a marauding dragon meet for extraordinary fun in this brilliant Discworld novel from New York Times bestselling author Terry Pratchett, now available as a special limited Olive Edition from Harper Perennial.
Insurrection is in the air in the city of Ankh-Morpork. The Haves and Have-Nots are about to face off, again. It’s old news to Captain Sam Vimes of the city’s ramshackle Night Watch. But this time, something is different—the Have-Nots have found the key to a dormant, lethal weapon that even they can’t fully control, and they’re about to unleash a campaign of terror on the city.
Long believed extinct, a draco nobilis can now be seen patrolling the skies above Discworld's greatest city. Not only does this unwelcome visitor have a nasty habit of charbroiling everything in its path, but it’s also soon crowned King. Can Vimes, Captain Carrot, and the rest of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch restore order (before it's burned to a crisp)?
