Instead, Lord Vetinari, supreme ruler of Ankh-Morpork, has made him the city’s Postmaster General.

To restore the postal service to its former glory, Moist accepts the help of the tough talking and very attractive activist Adora Belle Dearheart.\nBut to succeed, Moist must overcome two formidable foes—new technology and the greedy chairman of a communication monopoly who will stop at nothing to delay Ankh-Morpork’s post for good . . .\nThe Discworld novels can be read in any order, but Going Postal is the first book in the Moist von Lipwig series.
