Patchett demonstrates just how great the distance is between one- and two-joke writers and the comic masters whose work will be read into the next century. --Locus Magic, mayhem, and a marauding dragon combine for extraordinary fun in this cheeky Discworld novel from New York Times bestselling author Terry Pratchett. Insurrection is in the air in the city of Ankh-Morpork. The Haves and Have-Nots are about to face off. Again. Its old news to Captain Sam Vimes of the citys ramshackle Night Watch. But this time, something is different--the Have-Nots have found the key to a dormant, lethal weapon that even they cant fully control, and theyre about to unleash a campaign of terror on the city. Long believed extinct, a draco nobilis can now be seen patrolling the skies above Discworlds greatest city. Not only does this unwelcome visitor have a nasty habit of charbroiling everything in its path, but its also soon crowned King.
