      *********************************************************************

      ''You should do things because they''re right. Not because gods say so. They might say something different another time.''

      In the beginning was the Word. And the Word was: ''Hey, you!'' This is the Discworld, after all, and religion is a controversial business.

      Everyone has their own opinion, and indeed their own gods, of every shape and size, and all elbowing for space at the top.

      So when the great god Om accidentally manifests himself as a lowly tortoise, stripped of all divine power, it''s clear he''s become less important than he realised.

      In such instances, you need an acolyte, and fast. Enter Brutha, the Chosen One - or at least the only One available. He wants peace, justice and love - but that''s hard to achieve in a world where religion means power, and corruption reigns supreme . . .
