Pyramids - Terry Pratchett This installment of Pratchett's Discworld books sees the author aiming his always-sharp wit at Ancient Egypt. Teppic, the crown prince of Djelibeybi (aka, Egypt) has been away in Ankh-Morpork studying to be an assassin. When, upon the death of his father, he is called back to take his rightful place as Pharaoh, he brings all kinds of new-fangled ideas (like plumbing) with him, to the dismay of of the scheming high priest. The priest insists on following tradition and building the recently deceased king the biggest, most impressive pyramid yet. But, since as every new-ager worth their salt knows, Pyramids are great focusers of mystic powers - trouble lies ahead. It may be up to the Greatest Mathematician on the Disc to save the day.
