'An intriguing satire on institutionalized religion corrupted by power . . .' Independent โThought-provoking comic fantasy...Sir Terry is a master satiristโ 5-star reader review 'You should do things because they're right. Not because gods say so. They might say something different another time.' 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 himself as a lowly tortoise, stripped of all divine power, it's clear he's become less important than he realised. In such instances, you need an acolyte, and fast. Enter Brutha, the Chosen One - or at least the only One available. He wants peace, justice and love - but that's hard to achieve in a world where religion means power, and corruption reigns supreme . . . The Discworld novels can be read in any order, but Small Gods is a standalone. Praise for the Discworld series: '[Pratchettโs] spectacular inventiveness makes the Discworld series one of the perennial joys of modern fiction' Mail on Sunday โPratchett is a master storytellerโ Guardian 'One of our greatest fantasists, and beyond a doubt the funniest' George R.R. Martin 'One of those rare writers who appeals to everyoneโ Daily Express โOne of the most consistently funny writers aroundโ Ben Aaronovitch โMasterful and brilliantโ Fantasy & Science Fiction โPratchett uses his other world to hold up a distorting mirror to our own... he is a satirist of enormous talent ... incredibly funny ... compulsively readable' The Times โThe best humorous English author since P.G. Wodehouse' The Sunday Telegraph โNothing short of magicalโ Chicago Tribune 'Consistently funny, consistently clever and consistently surprising in its twists and turns' SFX โ[Discworld is] compul
