Terry Pratchett is the acclaimed creator of the global bestselling Discworld series, the first of which, The Colour of Magic, was published in 1983. Raising Steam is his fortieth Discworld novel. His books have been widely adapted for stage and screen, and he is the winner of multiple prizes, including the Carnegie Medal, as well as being awarded a knighthood for services to literature. After falling out with his keyboard he now talks to his computer. Occasionally, these days, it answers back.

On the day the world ends . . .
. . . Mau is on his way home from the Boys' Island. Soon he will be a man.
And then the wave comes - a huge wave, dragging black night behind it and bringing a schooner, the Sweet Judy, which sails over and through the island rainforest. As the ship comes to a crashing halt, only one soul is left alive (or two, if you count parrots).
The village has gone. The Nation as it was has gone.Now there's just Mau, who wears barely anything, a trouserman girl who wears far too much, and an awful lot of big misunderstandings.
And a lot of not-knowing-what-to-do. Or how to even say that.
Together they must forge a new Nation out of the broken pieces.Create a new history.
But . . .
WHO IS GUARDING THE NATION? WHERE IS OUR BEER?
. . . the old history isn't going to just lie down and go away, at least not while the Grandfathers still have a voice. And Mau must look into the past before he can face the future.
Wise, witty and filled with Terry Pratchett's inimitable comic satire, this is a terrific adventure that- quite literally - turns the world upside down.
