[EAN: 9780385608671], Usato, buono stato, [SC: 22.88], [PU: Doubleday], Jacket, 362 pages. Dj chipped. Text yellowed in a few pagesA seemingl y routine day in the life of City Watch commander Sam Vimes is ab ruptly interrupted by an unsolved murder, an impending war, an un wanted new recruit, and a pesky government inspector. By the auth or of Going Postal. It's a game of Trolls and Dwarfs where the pl ayer must take both sides to win. It's the noise a troll club mak es when crushing in a dwarf skull, or when a dwarfish axe cleaves a trollish cranium. It's the unsettling sound of history about t o repeat itself. THUD! It's the most extraordinary, outrageous, p rovocative, insightful, and keenly cutting flight of fancy yet fr om Discworld's incomparable supreme creator, Terry Pratchett. Com mander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch admits he may not be the sharpest knife in the cutlery drawer. He might not even b e a spoon. But he's dogged and honest and he'll be damned if he l ets anyone disturb his city's always tentative peace, and that in cludes a rabble-rousing dwarf from the sticks (or deep beneath th em) who's been stirring up big trouble on the eve of the annivers ary of one of Discworld's most infamous historical events. Centur ies earlier, in a gods-forsaken hellhole called Koom Valley, a ho rde of trolls met a division of dwarfs in bloody combat. Though n obody's quite sure why they fought or who actually won, hundreds of years on each species still bears the cultural scars, and one views the other with simmering animosity and distrust. Lately, an influential dwarf, Grag Hamcrusher, has been fomenting unrest am ong Ankh-Morpork's more diminutive citizens with incendiary speec hes. And it doesn't help matters when the pint-size provocateur i s discovered beaten to death, with a troll club lying convenientl y nearby. Vimes knows the well-being of his smoldering city depen ds on his ability to solve the Hamcrusher homicide without delay. (Vimes's secondmost-pressing responsibility, in fact, next to be ing home every evening at six sharp to read Where's My Cow? to Yo ung Sam.) Whatever it takes to unstick this very sticky situation , Vimes will do it, even tolerating having a vampire in the Watch . But there's more than one corpse waiting for him in the eerie, summoning darkness of the vast, labyrinthine mine network the dwa rfs have been excavating in secret beneath Ankh-Morpork's streets . A deadly puzzle is pulling Sam Vimes deep into the muck and mir e of superstition, hatred, and fear, and perhaps all the way to K oom Valley itself., Books<
