Description
Raising Steam is the third and final book in Terry Pratchett's Industrial Revolution series. In this novel, Moist von Lipwig finds himself at the helm of the Royal Bank and Post Office of Ankh-Morpork, tasked with keeping the city's new steam locomotive, Iron Girder, on track. As the railway expands rapidly, Moist must use his cunning to navigate the objections of those who resist change. With the Patrician's authority looming over him, he will need all his tricks to keep the trains running smoothly. This is a story about the power of innovation and the challenges that come with embracing new technology. The Discworld novels can be read in any order, but Raising Steam is a worthwhile read for fans of Terry Pratchett's unique blend of fantasy, satire, and adventure.
