Discover the gloriously inventive and funny fantasy novel from bestselling author Terry Pratchett, a standalone Discworld novel.

'An unmitigated delight... very, very funny' The Times

'A political thriller set in a fantasy world and a fantasy novel involving a political thriller... A classic from a master storyteller' 5-star reader review

'A lie can run round the world before the truth can get its boots on.'

William de Worde has somehow found himself editor of Ankh-Morpork's first newspaper. Well, with a name like that...
Launched into the world of investigative journalism, alongside reporter Sacharissa Cripslock, William soon learns that the news is a risky business. For a start, his colleagues include a band of axe-wielding dwarfs and a recovering vampire with a life-threatening passion for flash photography.

It's a big news week: the most powerful man in the city has been arrested, leaving Ankh-Morpork without a leader.

And a dangerous criminal organisation will do anything to control the story...
The Discworld novels can be read in any order, but The Truth is a standalone.
