Review by Larry Woods
Feet of Clay by Terry Pratchett. Someone is killing harmless old men, and the City Watch of the Discworld have to track down murderers who cannot be seen. The Golems know something, but these solemn men of clay, who work 24 hours a day and are never bothersome, have started to commit suicide.
Meanwhile, the City Watch has its own problems. There is a werewolf suffering from pre-lunar tension; Corporal Nobbs is hobnobbing with the Nobs, and the earrings and eye shadow of the new dwarf recruit are truly strange.
Author Terry Pratchett is well known for his brand of comic fantasy which is a mix of Monty Python and Douglas Adams's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. After all, Pratchett began his writing career as a journalist, evolved into a public relations agent for nuclear power plants, and is only now the funniest parodist in the science fiction world.
Larry D. Woods, an attorney, is an avid collector of science fiction.
