Discworld: vol. 21

Jingo

Plot

Welcome to Discworld, where the Only Things More bizarre than a very flat planet zipping through space on the backs of four elephants poised atop an enormous turtle are the people that call it home.Lo and behold: a new island has surfaced in the waters smack between the lands of Ankh-Morpork and Al-Khali. But rather than share this place equally, greedy individuals on both sides hatch a scheme to force the two countries into war -- a particularly nasty situation that hasn't occurred in these parts in more than a century. Now all that stands between an all-out confrontation is Captain Vimes and his gallant troop of City Guards, who must traverse the ocean straight into conflicts with marauding hordes, and, worst of all, bureaucratic blockheads.With several million copies of the series in print, as well as a multitude of related tie-in and merchandising products, nothing's more fun or fantastic than taking a trip to Terry Pratchett's Discworld! With Jingo, fans all over the world can visit Discworld once again -- without having to set foot on the darned thing.
