FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description "Pratchetts Monty Python-like plots are almost impossible to describe. His talent for characterization and dialogue and his pop-culture allusions steal the show."--Chicago TribuneNo sacred cow is left unskewered in this intriguing installment in Sir Terry Pratchetts internationally bestselling Discworld series, a divinely funny take on organized religion, petty gods, and the corrupting thirst for power.Religion is a competitive business in the Discworld. Everyone has their own opinion and their own gods of every shape and size--all fighting for faith, followers, and a place at the top. So when the great god Om accidentally manifests as a lowly tortoise, stripped of all divine power, its clear hes become less important than he realized.Om needs an acolyte and fast. Enter Brutha, the Chosen One--or at least the only One available. Hes a simple lad whose highest ambition is tending his melon patch--until he hears the voice of a god calling his name. A small god for sure. But bossy as Hell.Brutha wants peace, justice, and love--but thats hard to achieve in a world where religion means power, money is worshipped, and corruption reigns supreme. . . .The Discworld novels can be read in any order but Small Gods is a standalone. Back Cover Lost in the chill deeps of space between the galaxies, it sails on forever, a flat, circular world carried on the back of a giant turtle-- Discworld --a land where the unexpected can be expected. Where the strangest things happen to the nicest people. Like Brutha, a simple lad who only wants to tend his melon patch. Until one day he hears the voice of a god calling his name. A small god, to be sure. But bossy as Hell. Author Biography TERRY PRATCHETT is one of the most popular authors writing today.
