It's brilliant! It isn't a best-seller YET :-(

Sci-Fi & Fantasy - Cooper, Jasper

Funny jokes and tasty recipes For the dedicated Discworld fan only

Lack of any real ideas at the heart of the bookover-reliance on violence to further the story (although, of course, this is a book about a war!)barely above average pulp science fiction.
