3367 ba49df0a-1ed7-460a-bfac-5f8760a952b7 Feet of Clay Terry Pratchett calibre (2.46.0) [http://calibre-ebook.com] 1996-06-02T00:00:00+00:00 'Sorry?' said Carrot. If it's just a thing, how can it commit murder? A sword is a thing' - he drew his own sword; it made an almost silken sound - 'and of course you can't blame a sword if someone thrust it at you, sir.' For members of the City Watch, life consists of troubling times, linked together by periods of torpid inactivity. Now is one such troubling time. People are being murdered, but there's no trace of anything alive having been at the crime scene. Is there ever a circumstance in which you can blame the weapon not the murderer? Such philosophical questions are not the usual domain of the city's police, but they're going to have to start learning fast... SUMMARY: In Feet of Clay, Terry Pratchett continues the fantasy adventures on Discworld--where anything goes. Anything but murder, that is. Commander Vimes of the Watch must investigate a puzzling series of deaths, with help from various trolls and dwarfs. Pratchett's humor and excellent writing skills draw the reader effortlessly into his zany world. Feet of Clay is 19th in the series. --Blaise Selby Gollancz http://isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?13429 eng Fantasy Fiction General Discworld (Imaginary place) _isfdb 7 of 1997 Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel Novel Fantasy:Humour humorous fantasy
