Going Postal

Author: Terry Pratchett

Moist von Lipwig, a charming con artist, finds himself at a crossroads when he’s offered a chance at redemption: revive Ankh-Morpork’s defunct postal service or face the gallows. With a ragtag team of misfits and a stubborn golem, Moist tackles the impossible task. As he unravels centuries-old mysteries and battles corporate rivals, he discovers an unexpected passion for stamps and second chances. Pratchett’s wit shines through in this delightful tale of bureaucracy, redemption, and the power of the written word.

The pen is mightier than the sword if the sword is very short, and the pen is very sharp.
