This is him at the height of his powers now, although he doesn't have much to say as in some of his later books. But the whole is an extremely affectionate tour through Australia in both fact and fiction. If he hadn't been on an Australian book tour immediately before starting this novel, I would be shocked.It could definitely have used more focus on the aboriginal peoples and the wafer-thin plot is just there so Pratchett can wander around XXXX, but it's a very good ride. It really reinforces that we need some Aussie gaming company to create an Aussie-inspired setting. (Yes, I've seen the fun YouTube video that riffs on the idea.)</blockquote>
