The Truth |
|
The dwarves have found a way of making lead into gold. It�s printing, and that�s not allowed in Ankh-Morpork, up until now. William De Worde is the editor of the Ankh-Morpork Times - the first newspaper of AM. He has to deal with the dwarves, a reformed vampire with a fascination for flash photography, an assistant editor who thinks in headlines, and a lot of people who want him dead. |
|
There is a plot to discredit the Patrician and depose him, and William has to get to the truth through the objections of the Watch, the Engravers� Guild, and the criminals known as the New Firm - Mr. Pin and Mr. Tulip. It�s the coldest winter in living memory (although some people wouldn�t agree), but it�s going to get hot in the press room in Gleam street soon enough. |
|
A fascinating novel, with new leading characters, first time after Soul Music. A funny view of the printing and newspaper industry, and some really weird bad-guys - well worth reading. |
