Small Gods
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Description
"Pratchett's Monty Python-like plots are almost impossible to describe. His talent for characterization and dialogue and his pop-culture allusions steal the show."—Chicago Tribune
No sacred cow is left unskewered in this intriguing installment in Sir Terry Pratchett's internationally bestselling Discworld series, a divinely funny take on organized religion, petty gods, and the corrupting thirst for power.
Religion is a competitive business in the Discworld. Everyone has their own opinion and their own gods of every shape and size—all fighting for faith, followers, and a place at the top. So when the great god Om accidentally manifests as a lowly tortoise, stripped of all divine power, it's clear he's become less important than he realized.
Om needs an acolyte and fast. Enter Brutha, the Chosen One—or at least the only One available. He's a simple lad whose highest ambition is tending his melon patch—until he hears the voice of a god calling his name. A small god for sure. But bossy as Hell.
Brutha wants peace, justice, and love—but that's hard to achieve in a world where religion means power, money is worshipped, and corruption reigns supreme. . . .
The Discworld novels can be read in any order but Small Gods is a standalone.
