A splendid send-up of government, the postal system, and everything that lies in between in this newest entry in Terry Pratchetts internationally bestselling Discworld series. Convicted con man and forger Moist von Lipwig is given a choice: Face the hangmans noose, or get Ankh Morporks ancient Post Office up and running efficiently! It was a tough decision . . . Now, the former criminal is facing really big problems. Theres tons of undelivered mail. Ghosts are talking to him. One of the postmen is 18,000 years old. And you really wouldnt want to know what his new girlfriend can do with a shoe. To top it all off, shadowy characters dont want the mail moved. Instead, they want him deaddeader than all those dead letters. (And here hed thought that all hed have to face was rain, snow, and gloom of night . . .)
