The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents

(Discworld Novel 28)

Summary

IT’S A RAT-EAT-RAT WORLD . . .

Every town on Discworld knows the stories about rats and pipers, and Maurice – a streetwise tomcat – leads a band of educated ratty friends (and a stupid kid) on a nice little earner. Piper plus rats equals lots and lots of money.

Until they run across someone playing a different tune.

Now he and his rats must learn a new concept: evil . . .

Reviews

  • Ethically challenging, beautifully orchestrated, philosophically opposed to the usual plot fixes of fantasy
