Discover the gloriously inventive and funny fantasy novel from bestselling author Terry Pratchett, the fifth book in the City Watch series, part of the Discworld novels.
Precisely balanced . . . a cracking comic thriller The Times
One of Sir Terry Pratchetts funniest fantasy novels 5-star reader review
Well, he thought, so this is diplomacy. Its lying, only for a better class of people.
Commander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch is a long way from home.
Sent as reluctant ambassador to Uberwald, a mysterious region inhabited by dwarfs, vampires and werewolves, Vimes must learn the art of diplomacy. Fast.
But when he uncovers a mystery with ties back home, the policeman in him cant help but investigate. What could possibly go wrong
Well, quite a lot actually. Vimes finds himself on the run through the frozen forests of Uberwald, armed with only his wits and the trousers of Uncle Vanya (dont ask). And if he doesnt make it, theres going to be a terrible war.
But there are monsters on his trail. Theyre smart. Theyre fast. Theyre werewolves.
And theyre catching up . . .
The Fifth Elephant is the fifth book in the City Watch series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.
