'A foot on the neck is nine points of the law'

There are others who maintain that it's merely a matter of who carries the biggest stick. Like when a large, heavily fortified and armoured empire makes a faintly menacing request of a much smaller, infinitely more cowardly neighbour. It would be churlish, if not extremely dangerous, not to comply - particularly if all they want is a wizard, and they don't specify whether competence is an issue...

Recensione
"This spinner of crazy science-fiction tales is a very sophisticated jester" (The Times)
"Cracking dialogue, compelling illogic and unchained whimsy... Pratchett has a subject and a style that is very much his own" (The Sunday Times)
"Imagine a collision between Jonathan Swift at his most scatalogically-minded and J.R.R Tolkein on speed... This total mess of - I suppose - a novel, is the joyous outcome" (Daily Telegraph)
"Funny, delightfully inventive, and refuses to lie down in its genre" (Observer)
"Like Dickens, much of Pratchett's appeal lies in his humanism, both in a sentimental regard for his characters' good fortune, and in that his writing is generous-spirited and inclusive" (Guardian)
