Carpe Jugulum - Tapa dura

Mighty Oats has not picked a good time to be a priest. He thought he'd come to the mountain kingdom of Lancre for a simple religious ceremony. Now he's caught up in a war between vampires and witches, and he's not sure whether there is a right side. This is the 23rd novel in the Discworld novel.

Terry Pratchett is one of the most popular authors writing today. He lives behind a keyboard in Wiltshire and says he 'doesn't want to get a life, because it feels as though he's trying to lead three already'. He was appointed OBE in 1998. He is the author of the phenomenally successful Discworld series and his trilogy for young readers, The Bromeliad, is scheduled to be adapted into a spectacular animated movie. His first Discworld novel for children, THE AMAZING MAURICE AND HIS EDUCATED RODENTS, was awarded the 2001 Carnegie Medal.
