But then came discovery of something which did intrigue Kin Arad. A flat earth was something new...

Ratings and reviews

Reading Pratchett is falling in love with delight..with exuberance..with the sheer exhilaration of a wonderful toboggan trip through a landscape of wonder..humour..mind blowing concepts..and if you want it.. awesome depth and profundity...or..just real fun!!

Brilliant read. As a first look into the idea that sparked the discworld series, it really plays around with the sci-fi cross ancient earth theme which really helps set the tone for the discworld to take off. Reading this after reading the whole discworld series is a real eye opener and has me looking at the discworld series in A new light.

I adore this book. Witty and a fresh way of looking at our own world!
