Near the end of the book, Om is forcing the gods of Omnia's invaders to order them to cease their war.The revelation that all of the anti-Omnia armada's captains believe they're the one in charge, with reasons ranging from being the most recent victim of invasion to being the sort of person who believes they're in charge when not explicitly told otherwise.Any time Pratchett brings up the value or merit of philosophers, church bureaucracy, or death traps conveniently placed in large foreboding libraries.The soldiers are weirded out but can't place why. Occasionally, a line slips in where someone thanks them. When the skies erupt as the heavens shake from Om's violent return among the gods to stop a war on Discworld, some of the humans cower for cover under a boat, and start passing around a cigarette and a flask.The Discworld novels can be read in any order but Small Gods is a standalone."Your intestines to be wrapped around a tree until you are sorry!" He wants peace, justice and love-but that’s hard to achieve in a world where religion means power, and corruption reigns supreme. Enter Brutha, the Chosen One-or at least the only One available. In such instances, you need an acolyte, and fast. 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 realized. Everyone has their own opinion and their own gods, of every shape and size-all fighting for faith, followers, and a place at the top. Religion is a competitive business in the Discworld. Until one day he hears the voice of a god calling his name. Like Brutha, a simple lad who only wants to tend his melon patch.
Where the strangest things happen to the nicest people. Lost in the chill deeps of space between the galaxies, it sails on forever, a flat, circular world carried on the back of a giant turtle- Discworld -a land where the unexpected can be expected.
