For jokes and a story with a tinge of science set in the Discworld, Terry
Pratchett’s The Fifth Elephant tackles communications and that most
inexact of disciplines, economics, with fervour and wit. Out in a week or two,
Pratchett’s definitely back on form after the rather slight Carpe
Jugulum. Published by Doubleday, £16.99, ISBN 0385409958.
