The 7th Discworld novel - revamped with a fresh bold look targeting a new generation of fantasy fans.

'\""LOOK AFTER THE DEAD,\"" SAID THE PRIESTS, \""AND THE DEAD WOULD LOOK AFTER YOU.\""'

Young Prince Teppic is sent far away from his desert homeland to the city of Ankh-Morpork for the best education money can buy. Which just so happens to be at the Assassins' Guild.

But when Teppic's father dies suddenly, fate takes him away from assassination to something far more unsavoury- politics. Teppic returns home to the small, penniless kingdom of Djelibeybi to take his place as ruler.

It isn't easy, being a teenage pharaoh. As tradition dictates, the new king must build a monumental pyramid to honour his dead father. But this one might just bankrupt the kingdom, and warp the very fabric of time and space itself . . .

'Pratchett remains a consistently clever, charming and funny voice' - Independent

The Discworld novels can be read in any order but Pyramids is a standalone.

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. www.terrypratchettbooks.com

Reviews for Pyramids: (Discworld Novel 7)

'Like Dickens, much of Pratchett's appeal lies in his humanism, both in a sentimental regard for his characters' good fortune, and in that his writing is generous-spirited and inclusive'—Guardian 'As funny as Wodehouse and as witty as Waugh'—Independent 'Imagine a collision between Jonathan Swift at his most scatologically-minded and J.R.R. Tolkien on speed'—Daily Telegraph 'The best kind of parody - funny and smart and still a good story'—Mail on Sunday
