About this product

Product Information

To the consternation of the patrician, Lord Vetinari, a new invention has arrived in Ankh-Morpork a great clanging monster of a machine that harnesses the power of all of the elements- earth, air, fire and water. This being Ankh-Morpork, it s soon drawing astonished crowds, some of whom caught the zeitgeist early and arrive armed with notepads and very sensible rainwear. Moist von Lipwig is not a man who enjoys hard work as master of the Post Office, the Mint and the Royal Bank his input is, of course, vital . . . but largely dependent on words, which are fortunately not very heavy and don t always need greasing. However, he does enjoy being alive, which makes a new job offer from Vetinari hard to refuse . . . Steam is rising over Discworld, driven by Mister Simnel, the man wi t flat cap and sliding rule who has an interesting arrangement with the sine and cosine. Moist will have to grapple with gallons of grease, goblins, a fat controller with a history of throwing employees down the stairs and some very angry dwarfs if he s going to stop it all going off the rails . . .

    Good book.

    A decent book by a wonderful author whose like will never be seen again. This was to replace the copy I have misplaced and now completes my collection again.

    Great story from a tremendous series by a superb author.

    The story is amazing but the actual copy I received had a strange cover. I suspect it should have had a slipcase or dust jacket but it doesn't.
