About this ebook
'A lie can run round the world before the truth can get its boots on.'
William de Worde has somehow found himself editor of Ankh-Morpork's first newspaper. Well, with a name like that . . .
Launched into the world of investigative journalism, alongside reporter Sacharissa Cripslock, William soon learns that the news is a risky business. For a start, his colleagues include a band of axe-wielding dwarfs and a recovering vampire with a life-threatening passion for flash photography.
It's a big news week: the most powerful man in the city has been arrested, leaving Ankh-Morpork without a leader. And a dangerous criminal organisation will do anything to control the story . . .
'An unmitigated delight . . . very, very funny' The Times
The Discworld novels can be read in any order but The Truth is a standalone.

One of the better ones philosophically wise as the moral and logical cunumdrums are possibly closer to home than in some of his novels or should I say treatisese. Wonderfully entertaining as usual.

If you're a Pratchett fan you've already read and enjoyed this. If you aren't, please do yourself a favour and read this book. Then the rest. Nobody else did or does what this man did even half as well.

One of Terry's best works. Love them all but this one stands out.

About the author
Terry Pratchett was the acclaimed creator of the global bestselling Discworld series, the first of which, The Colour of Magic, was published in 1983. In all, he was the author of over fifty bestselling books which have sold over 100 million copies worldwide. His novels have been widely adapted for stage and screen, and he was the winner of multiple prizes, including the Carnegie Medal. He was awarded a knighthood for services to literature in 2009, although he always wryly maintained that his greatest service to literature was to avoid writing any.
