Jingo by Terry Pratchett is a humorous fantasy novel from the Discworld series, where the accidental surfacing of an ancient island sparks a tense conflict between Ankh-Morpork and Klatch. The Ankh-Morpork City Watch, led by Commander Vimes, finds themselves embroiled in chaotic political manoeuvring as they attempt to unravel the mystery behind the island's sudden reappearance and mediate peace. In true Pratchett fashion, the novel satirises real-world politics and highlights themes of nationalism and diplomacy.

Discworld goes to war, with armies of sardines, warriors, fishermen, squid, and at least one very camp follower.

As two armies march, Commander Vimes of Ankh-Morpork City Watch faces unpleasant foes who are out to get him... and that's just the people on his side. The enemy might be even worse.

Jingo, the 21st in Terry Pratchett's phenomenally successful Discworld series, makes the World Cup look like a friendly five-a-side.

About the Author

Sir Terry Pratchett is a publishing phenomenon. Among his many prizes and citations are the World Fantasy Life Achievement Award, the Carnegie medal, the BSFA Award, eight honorary doctorates and, of course, a knighthood. In 2012, he won a BAFTA for his documentary on the subject of assisted suicide, 'Terry Pratchett: Choosing to Die'. He is the author of fifty bestselling books but is best known for the globally renowned Discworld series. The first Discworld novel, The Colour of Magic, was published in 1983, and the series is still going strong almost three decades later. Four Discworld novels - Hogfather, Going Postal, The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic - have been adapted for television, with more to follow. His books have sold approximately 75 million copies worldwide (but who's counting ), and been translated into thirty-seven languages. Terry Pratchett lives near Salisbury in Wiltshire.
