Publisher's Summary
Arch-swindler Moist von Lipwig never believed his crimes were hanging
offenses, until he found himself with a noose around his neck, dropping
through a trap door, and falling into...a government job? Getting the
moribund Postal Service up and running again, however, may be an impossible
task. Worse, the new Postmaster could swear the mail is talking to him.
Worst of all, it means taking on the gargantuan, money-hungry Grand
Trunk clacks communication monopoly and its bloodthirsty piratical head,
Mr. Reacher Gilt.
But it says on the building 'Neither Rain Nor Snow Nor Glo m Of Ni t'...Inspiri-
ng words (admittedly, some of the bronze letters have been stolen),
and for once in his wretched life Moist is going to fight. And if the
bold and impossible are what's called for, he'll do it; to move the
mail, continue breathing, get the girl, and deliver that invaluable
commodity that everyone requires: hope.
What the Critics Say
Audie Award Finalist, Fiction (unabridged), 2005
"Thanks to the timely subject matter and Pratchett's effervescent wit,
this 29th Discworld novel may capture more of the American audience
he deserves." (Publishers Weekly)
"Instead of revisiting old characters, Pratchett again takes on the
task of further rounding out his already beautifully imagined Discworld,
doing it with his usual blending of good laughs and unexpected depths."
