The Fifth Elephant by Terry Pratchett Book Summary

“Pratchett cheerfully takes readers on an exuberant tale of mystery and invention. Along the way, he skewers everything from monarchy to fascism, as well as communism and capitalism, oil wealth and ethnic identities, Russian plays, immigration, condoms, and evangelical Christianity—in short, everything worth talking about.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Elephants, werewolves, and ruby tights (oh my!) collide in this clever Discworld tale rich in mystery, myth, intrigue, and a dollop of diplomacy from the legendary New York Times bestselling author Terry Pratchett.

Everyone knows that the world is flat, and supported on the backs of four elephants. But weren’t there supposed to be five? Indeed there were. So where is the fifth elephant?

Commander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork constabulary is the man to find out. A copper through and through, he’s been “invited” to attend a royal function as a diplomat, ambassador to the mysterious, fat-rich country of Uberwald—complete with ruby tights.

Of course where cops go, crime follows. An attempted assassination and a theft soon lead to a desperate chase from the low halls of Discworld royalty to the legendary fat mines of Uberwald, where lard is found in underground seams along with tusks and teeth and other precious ivory artifacts. It’s up to the dauntless Vimes to solve the puzzle of the missing pachyderm. After all, that’s what he does.

Only there are monsters on his trail—bright, fast, toothy werewolves. And they’re catching up.

The Discworld novels can be read in any order but The Fifth Elephant is the 5th book in the City Watch collection and the 24th Discworld book.

The fifth elephant. Another masterpiece of wit and wisdom from the creator of discworld.

Great book, poor format. This book is a wonderful expansion on an already enormous world. Pratchett has out done him self with this book. Unfortunately the format is off putting and the typos can be a bit hard to over look at times. I can over look them in the book format but when it would be so easy to change , really? Just read the sample and if you like it BUY IT.

HarperCollins needs help. Typos and poor formatting. Pratchett deserves better.

Excellent.. One of my very favorite Discworld books. Pratchett is a wizard with words and this is some of his best work. Highly recommended.
