Making Money

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The 36th Discworld novel and 2nd in the Moist von Lipwig series - revamped with a fresh bold look targeting a new generation of fantasy fans.

Whoever said you can't fool an honest man wasn't one.

The Royal Bank of Ankh-Morpork is facing a crisis and needs a shake-up in management. Cue Moist von Lipwig, Postmaster General and former con artist. If anyone can rescue the city's ailing financial institution, it's him. He doesn't really want the job, but the thing is, he doesn't have a choice.

Moist has many problems to solve as part of his new role - the chief cashier is almost certainly a vampire, the chairman needs his daily walkies, there's something strange happening in the cellar, and the Royal Mint is running at a loss.

Moist begins making some ambitious changes... and some dangerous enemies. Because money is power and certain stakeholders will do anything to keep a firm grip on both...

As bright and shiny as a newly minted coin; clever, engaging and laugh-out-loud funny - The Times

Making Money is the second book in the Moist von Lipwig 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
