"Dom Salabos had a lot of advantages.
As heir to a huge fortune he had an excellent robot servant (with Man-Friday subcircuitry), a planet (the First Syrian Bank) as a godfather, a security chief who even ran checks on himself, and on Dom's home world even death was not always fatal.
Why then, in an age when prediction was a science, was his future in doubt?"
I bought this from one of my favorite bookstores in Helsinki. I love books from Pratchett and I believe this is his first book for adults? It's more scifi than fantasy, but you can see how Pratchett is looking for his own writing style and it's kinda wonderful. I wish the story would have moved forward more easily, to me it seemed kinda forced. But I liked Isaac and Dom.

Liked it but not my favourite Pratchett. Still good though.
