    Summary

    “You know what?” Wei Ying said. “I think we should be friends.”

    “Vulcans do not have friends,” said Lan Zhan. He was staring very determinedly at the screen in front of him.

    Wei Ying frowned at him. “That can’t be right.”

    Summary

    Vimes waved that stupid idea off. "Oh, right, you'll just go move into your empty old house — sorry, empty old childhood home — in Ankh and live by yourself till you die, of course. You'll have the rats whipped into shape in no time. … Sir."

    Vetinari looked blank in an extremely suspicious way.

    Summary

    In April of 1848, at latitude 70 degrees 05 minutes North, longitude 98 degrees 23 minutes West, Captain Fitzjames of the H.M.S. Terror stood on the blank field of pack ice and examined a block of tea. It seemed such a strange thing to him. How could it be that a tea cake, something that belonged on the shelves of warm and friendly English kitchens in London and Liverpool, came to be in such an unearthly, inhospitable place as this?

    This is the story of how it came to be there.

    Summary

    If Cliopher had to sit around twiddling his thumbs he would lose his mind. “I’m going to legalize the rest of Fitzroy Angursell’s poetry,” he said, without entirely meaning to. To Aioru’s widened eyes and Ludvic’s raised eyebrows, he said, “I need a project, it’s non-essential to government functioning, and he’s Zunidh’s poet laureate now. Having half of his works be illegal for sedition is absurd.”

    -

    A political crisis in Nijan prevents Cliopher from retiring after the landslide and reuniting with Fitzroy. What it can't prevent is Cliopher and Fitzroy being ridiculous about each other from worlds apart.
