One rat, popping up here and
there, squeaking loudly, and taking a bath in the cream,
could be a plague all by himself. After a few days of
this, it was amazing how glad people were to see the kid
with his magical rat pipe. And they were amazing when the
rats followed hint out of town.
They'd have been
really amazed if they'd ever found out that the rats and
the piper met up with a cat somewhere outside of town and
solemnly counted out the money.
The Amazing
Maurice runs the perfect Pied Piper scam. This streetwise
alley cat knows the value of cold, hard cash and can talk
his way into and out of anything. But when Maurice and his
cohorts decide to con the town of Bad Blinitz, it will
take more than fast talking to survive the danger that
awaits. For this is a town where food is scarce and rats
are hated, where cellars are lined with deadly traps, and
where a terrifying evil lurks beneath the hunger-stricken
streets....
Set in Terry Pratchett's widely popular
Discworld, this masterfully crafted, gripping read is both
compelling and funny. When one of the world's most
acclaimed fantasy writers turns a classic fairy tale on
its head, no one will ever look at the Pied Piper -- or
rats -- the same way again!
