Corporate corruption and telecommunications turf wars are Terry Pratchett's targets in this installment in the internationally bestselling Discworld fantasy series. Con artist Moist von Lipwig's neck is saved from the noose by the Patrician of Ankh-Morpork, who then forcibly recruits Moist to serve as postmaster at the essentially defunct city postal service. Armed with a newfound sense of integrity and a highly developed arsenal of dirty tricks, Moist must tackle several years' worth of undelivered letters as well as the sinister machinations of the Grand Trunk clacks company--the monopoly running the Discworld's semaphore towers.

This is the eighth to be published in the popular hardboiled noir/fantasy series starring Vlad Taltos, a human crimelord in a world mainly populated by the vastly taller and longer-lived Dragaerans. Most of the action in DRAGON would merit its placement as the second book in the series timeline, between TALTOS and YENDI. However, the resolution of the plot takes place between YENDI and the following book in the timeline, JHEREG. When an important Dragaeran nobleman dies and one of his swords is subsequently stolen, it sets off a chain of events that results in war. Right in the middle of the action is our hero, the wisecracking assassin Vlad, who joins the army after the leader of the opposing forces personally annoys him.
