Product Information

A comic fantasy novel that was an early exploration of the idea that was to become the bestselling Discworld series. THE COMPANY BUILDS PLANETS. Kin Arad is a high-ranking official of the Company.

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.
