  • Asci-fi novel from the creator of the Discworld series. If you like sci-fi this will probably be right up your street.

    Sadly I'm not a sci-fi fan and only bought this on the strength of the authors name. Terry Pratchett is a marvellous wordsmith but I couldn't get into the sci-fi genre. Don't let that put you off if you like the genre as Terry Pratchett is a very gifted writer.

  • Strata by Terry Pratchett

    Completely different from the Discworld novels it is an exercise in futuristic science fiction. It leads the reader in different directions but is still identifiable as Pratchett. He probably enjoyed writing this book.

  • Terry Pratchet Classic

    Another Terry Pratchet classic. The origins of Discworld. Well worth a read - not compelling reading - but still well worth the effort.
