'Well, he thought, so this is diplomacy. It's lying, only for a better class of people.

They say that diplomacy is a gentle art. That mastering it is a lifetime's work. But you do need a certain inclination in that direction. It's not something you can just pick up on the job.

A few days ago Sam Vimes was a copper - an important copper, true - chief of police - but still, at his core, a policeman. But today he is an ambassador - to the mysterious, fat-rich country of Uberwald. Today, Sam Vimes is also a man on the run.

At some point during his ambassadorship, things went very wrong. It's snowing. It's freezing. And if Vimes can't make it through the forest, with only his wits and the gloomy trousers of Uncle Vanya (don't ask), there's going to be a terrible war.

There are monsters on his trail. They're bright. They're fast. They're werewolves - and they're catching up.

The Discworld novels can be read in any order but The Fifth Elephant is the fifth book in the City Watch series.

The twenty-fourth Discworld novel

Great narration, interesting story

Nothing to dislike at all. Jon Culshaw is a wonderful narrator.
Loved the storyline.
Next City Watch story already bought.

One of my all time favorites- so much fun!

Terry Pratchett's wonderful cast of characters come to life in this story of redemption and absolute hilarity!

The narration is amazing, each character spins like they've been plucked right out of my brain!

Always a favorite, this Discworld novel gives us a glimpse of the far reaches of the Disc through the Ankh-Morpork lens of Commadre Vimes! One of my favorite audiobook performances!

Great Reading

I usually don’t care for new or different versions, but Penguin has done well in its casting. Characters are well voiced, and the narrator understands the intent behind Commander Vimes and company.

Love the narration

Love the Discworld Series. My favorite all time Series. The narrator was amazing. On to the next in the series
