    As I've said before, I say again - there is no such thing as a bad Pratchett. While lacking the gravitas of Night Watch or Thud!, it's still a remarkably funny, often insightful look at the true nature of economics.

    Pratchett has set a preternaturally high standard for literature - which he sometimes fails to meet, some may say. But every book I've ever read of his is always good for a laugh and often comes with at least one truly quotable line.

    I wouldn't say this latest is his best, but it certainly enriches the texture of the Discworld universe by adding yet another layer of reality to it. Long-standing fans of Pratchett will not be disappointed by this work, but they won't have the same feeling they had coming off of "Night Watch", "Thud!" or "Wintersmith."

The long awaited, brand new adult Discworld novel.

It’s an offer you can’t refuse.

Who would not to wish to be the man in charge of Ankh-Morpork’s Royal Mint and the bank next door?

It’s a job for life. But, as former con-man Moist von Lipwig is learning, the life is not necessarily for long.

The Chief Cashier is almost certainly a vampire. There’s something nameless in the cellar (and the cellar itself is pretty nameless), it turns out that the Royal Mintruns at a loss. A 300 year old wizard is after his girlfriend, he’s about to be exposed as a fraud, but the Assassins Guild might get him first. In fact lot of people want him dead

Oh. And every day he has to take the Chairman for walkies.

Everywhere he looks he’s making enemies.

What he should be doing is . . . Making Money!
