<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>A war of words and a battle for the truth in Terry Pratchett's bestselling Discworld(R) series</p><p>The denizens of Ankh-Morpork fancy they've seen just about everything. But then comes the <em>Ankh-Morpork Times</em>, struggling scribe William de Worde's upper-crust newsletter turned Discworld's first paper of record. </p><p>An ethical journalist, de Worde has a proclivity for investigating stories--a nasty habit that soon creates powerful enemies eager to stop his presses. And what better way than to start the <em>Inquirer</em>, a titillating (well, what else would it be?) tabloid that conveniently interchanges what's real for what sells.</p><p>But de Worde's got an inside line on the hot story concerning Ankh-Morpork's leading patrician, Lord Vetinari. The facts say Vetinari is guilty. But as William de Worde learns, facts don't always tell the whole story. There's that pesky little thing called . . . <em>the truth</em>. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Other writers are mining the rich seam of comic fantasy that Pratchett first unearthed, but what keeps Pratchett on top is - quite literally - the way he tells them." - "The Times"<BR><BR>""The Truth" is an unmitigated delight and very, very funny...The pace is compelling but he never lets his tale descend into simple farce." - "The Times"<BR><BR>"[Discworld] has the energy of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and the inventiveness of "Alice in Wonderland"...[Terry Pratchett] has an intelligent wit and a truly original grim and comic grasp of the nature of things." - A.S. Byatt, "Sunday Times"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>TERRY PRATCHETT is the acclaimed creator of the global bestselling Discworld series, the first of which, "The Colour of Magic, " was published in 1983.
