| Pyramids Tepec, Prince of Djelibeybi, was
sent to Ankh-Morpork to be trained as an
assassin. No member of the royal house
has ever volentarily left the sacred river
valley. But when his father tries to take wing
(from the top of palace)
the Kingdom calls Tepec to his duty.
Once the corn stops growing around his feet, he
can bring his country into the new century with
plumbing
and feather matresses. Luckily for everyone,
Dios, the high priest, is there to be sure
everything keeps
running as it has for the past seven thousand
years.
Tepec's father hopes his son will get his message
("Don't put me in a bloody pyramid!"),
unfortunatly,
ghosts don't have an easy time talking to the
living.
| A
very funny look at ancient Egypt and the
fear of change found in many cultures
(and in many people's heads). Very
stand-alone, I don't think Djeg has even
been mentioned in any other book. |
