Surprise twist to the beginning of one of my favorite world series to frolic through! Science behind magic, and who's behind it all? What fun!

Pratchett takes the Discworld from fantasy to SciFi. The book delves into the question "If I was going to build an actual Disc World, how would I do it?" The book was actually written prior to the Discworld series.

It is a good read with likable characters. It has, of course, Pratchett's biting satire on religion and human nature in general. The addition of two aliens is a good vehicle for injecting comments on humans from an alien perspective. The humor is up to Pratchett's standards and the book will give quite a few good chuckles.
