Searching for “Terry Pratchett”

An angel and a demon have grown rather fond of Earth and would quite like the world not to end, so they mislay the Antichrist and muddle through. It's the Apocalypse done as a warm, daft farce, stuffed with footnotes and good manners. Read it when you need cheering up about humanity.

A drunk captain, a dwarf, and an earnest six-foot lad raised by dwarves are all that stand between Ankh-Morpork and a summoned dragon. Pratchett turns a tired old city and its hopeless coppers into something you'd defend with your life. Read it when you want to laugh and then, unexpectedly, care.
