Satirical fantasy, diplomacy, dwarfs, and werewolves.

If you're a fan of wit wrapped up in a fantastical setting, "The Fifth Elephant" promises to deliver. Terry Pratchett's sharp humor slices through the cold of Uberwald as Vimes navigates a world of political intrigue, mythical creatures, and the ever-present satirical mirror to our own society. It's an astute, clever read that also doesn’t shy away from pacing that can make you feel like you're racing through the snowy forests right alongside Vimes.

Description

Sam Vimes is a man on the run. Yesterday he was a duke, a chief of police, and the ambassador to the mysterious, fat-rich country of Uberwald. Now he has nothing but his native wit and the gloomy trousers of Uncle Vanya (don't ask). It's snowing. It's freezing. And if he can't make it through the forest to civilization, there's going to be a terrible war. But there are monsters on his trail. They're bright. They're fast. They're werewolves—and they're catching up. The Fifth Elephant is a Discworld novel by Terry Pratchett, this time starring dwarfs, diplomacy, intrigue, and big lumps of fat.
