Title: Going Postal Author: Terry Pratchett ISBN: 9780063393318 Publisher: Harper Perennial Published: 2025 Binding: Paperback Language: English Number of Pages: 448 Condition Note: New from the publisher Publisher Description: "Pratchett's books are almost always better than they have to be, and Going Postal is no exception, full of nimble wordplay, devious plotting and outrageous situations, but always grounded in an astute understanding of human nature."--San Francisco Chronicle A splendid send-up of government bureaucracy, corruption, the postal system, and everything in between in this ingenious entry in Sir Terry Pratchett's internationally bestselling Discworld series. By all rights, Arch-swindler Moist von Lipwig should be meeting his maker at the end of a noose. Instead, Lord Vetinari, supreme ruler of Ankh-Morpork, has made him the city's Postmaster General. Death may be preferable to fixing the Postal Service--a creaky, outdated institution beset by eccentric employees, mountains of old, undelivered mail Moist swears is talking to him, and a dangerous secret order. To restore the postal service to its former glory, Moist accepts the help of the tough talking and very attractive activist Adora Belle Dearheart. But to succeed, Moist must overcome two formidable foes--new technology and the greedy chairman of a communication monopoly who will stop at nothing to delay Ankh-Morpork's post for good . . . The Discworld novels can be read in any order, but Going Postal is the first book in the Moist von Lipwig series. The series, in order, includes: Going PostalMaking MoneyRaising Steam
