Description
The twenty-fourth Discworld novel and fifth in the City Watch series - revamped with a fresh bold look targeting a new generation of fantasy fans.
'WELL, HE THOUGHT, SO THIS IS DIPLOMACY. IT'S LYING, ONLY FOR A BETTER CLASS OF PEOPLE.'
Commander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch is a long way from home.
Sent as a reluctant ambassador to Uberwald, a mysterious region inhabited by dwarfs, vampires, and werewolves, Vimes must learn the art of diplomacy. Fast. But when he uncovers a mystery with ties back home, the policeman in him can't help but investigate. What could possibly go wrong?
Well, quite a lot actually. Vimes finds himself on the run through the frozen forests of Uberwald, armed with only his wits and the trousers of Uncle Vanya (don't ask). And if he doesn't make it, there's going to be a terrible war.
But there are monsters on his trail. They're smart. They're fast. They're werewolves.
And they're catching up . . .
'Precisely balanced . . . a cracking comic thriller' The Times
The Fifth Elephant is the fifth book in the City Watch series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.

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. www.terrypratchettbooks.com
