Synopsis
A classic Discworld novel featuring Sir Terry Pratchett''s signature style and wit. A fascinating and hilarious exploration of organised religion
''An enduring, endearing presence in comic literature'' Guardian
''Look after the dead'', said the priests, ''and the dead will look after you''.
Wise words in all probability, but a tall order when you have just become the pharaoh of a small and penniless country whose largesse - and indeed treasury - is unlikely to stretch to the building of a monumental pyramid to honour your dead father. And particularly when your only visible means of support is a recently acquired qualification from the Guild of Assassins where running a kingdom and basic financial acumen were not prerequisites for course entry...

''Philosophically, this is the richest Discworld novel so far . . . It mounts a delightful critique of tradition and religion'' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
''Oooo, I needed that!!!! Just as exquisite and funny and inelegant as I needed it to be!!!! I LOVE this author!!!'' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
''Fantastic early largely stand-alone story in my beloved Discworld series'' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

From the Publisher
Pyramids (The Book of Going Forth) is the seventh Discworld novel - and the most outrageously funny to date.
From the Back Cover
It's bad enough being new on the job, but Teppic hasn't a clue as to what a pharaoh is supposed to do. After all, he's been trained at Ankh-Morpork's famed assassins' school, across the sea from the Kingdom of the Sun.First, there's the monumental task of building a suitable resting place for Dad -- a pyramid to end all pyramids. Then there are the myriad administrative duties, such as dealing with mad priests, sacred crocodiles, and marching mummies. And to top it all off, the adolescent pharaoh discovers deceit, betrayal -- not to mention aheadstrong handmaiden -- at the heart of his realm.
