He already runs the Post Office and the Royal Bank. He does not want another hard job. Lord Vetinari, however, has other plans. A young engineer named Dick Simnel has built the first working steam train, and the city needs someone who can turn this loud new idea into a safe, useful railway.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat starts as a bold business plan becomes a race full of danger, jokes, politics, and fast-moving trouble.

Raising Steam gives readers something different. It brings machines, business, travel, public fear, and social change into a magical world. Discworld is moving forward, but not everyone is ready to move with it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMoist must help the railway grow without letting greed, fear, or violence destroy it. He works with inventors, workers, leaders, goblins, dwarfs, and people who do not trust one another. The train becomes more than a machine.
