Steampunk
The sixth marvellous tale of high adventure and derring-do from the master of steampunk literature, set in the world of The Court of the Air A daring underwater chase ends in a battle for the Kingdom itself…The streets of Middlesteel are under attack by an unseen enemy, leaving bloodless corpses in its trail. The newssheets scream vampire, but the truth is even more deadly than anyone knows. Charlotte Shades, Mistress of Mesmerism, is a thief – and a darned good one at that. When two mysterious men ask her to steal King Jude’s Sceptre from the Parliament vaults, the challenge (and reward) is too great to pass up. After all, Charlotte’s natural charm and the magic of the gem she wears – the mysterious Eye of Fate – have never failed her before. Only consulting detective Jethro Daunt and his steamman companion Boxiron know there’s more to these two men than meets the eye. Yet even as they rescue Charlotte from a fate worse than death, they are thrown into a plot thicker than even they realize. They escape beneath the waves in an ancient submarine led by Commodore Jethro Black, where they encounter stiff resistance from the strange people who inhabit the vast underwater kingdoms.But man, woman, seanore and gillneck alike must band together if they are to defeat a danger that might not even be from this world…

Be careful what you wish for… ; ; Once upon a time there was a fairy godmother named Desiderata who had a good heart a wise head and poor planning skills; which unforunately left the Princess Emberella in the care of her other (not quite so good and wise) godmother when Death came for Desiderata. So now it’s up to Magrat Garlick Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg to hop on broomsticks and make for far-distant Genua to ensure the servant girl doesn’t marry the Prince. ; ; But the road to Genua is bumpy and along the way the trio of witches encounters the occasional vampire werewolf and falling house (well this is a fairy tale after all). The trouble really begins once these reluctant foster-godmothers arrive in Genua and must outwit their power-hungry counterpart who’ll stop at nothing to achieve a proper “happy ending” even if it means destroying a kingdom!

The seventh Discworld novel! ; ; “Look after the dead” said the priests “and the dead will look after you”. ; ; Wise words in all probability but a tall order when you have just become the pharaoh of a small and penniless country whose largesse and indeed treasury is unlikely to stretch to the building of a monumental pyramid to honour your dead father. And particularly when your only visible means of support is a recently acquired qualification from the Guild of Assassins where running a kingdom and basic financial acumen were not prerequisites for course entry…
