    Terry Pratchett has much to say - on almost every subject. This entry into the Discworld oeuvre deals with the manipulation of historic prejudice. With typical wit, he uses the Battle of Koom Valley to demonstrate the age-old saw of how the Truth can set you free.

    The climax of this novel is as funny as anything he's ever written. Definitely a recommended read.

Vroom Valley? That was where the trolls ambushed the dwarfs, or the dwarfs ambushed the trolls. It was very far away. It was a long time ago. But if he doesn’t solve the murder of just one dwarf, Command Sam Vimes of Ankh-Morpork City Watch is going to see it fought again, right outside his office. With his beloved Watch crumbling around him and his war-drums sounding, he must unravel every clue, outwit every assassin and brave any darkness to find the solution. And darkness is following him. Oh . . . and at six o’clock every day, without fail, with no excuses, he must go home to read Where’s My Cow?, with all the right farmyard noises, to his little boy. There are some things you have to do!
