“Jingo” is the fourth novel in the series about Miska Warta in the “Discolight” series by Terry Pratchett, which reflects aggressive grief-patriotism and unrelenting military enthusiasm.
Knowledge of the Deep Around the sea... entire islands and, obviously, those closest to the new Ankh-Morpork and their sea vessel Haponiya lay claim to a new territory and are ready to start a war for it. True, the readiness of the Ankh-Morporks means a very brave fighting spirit. Commander Varty Samuel Vimes senses that the wind has changed in the area - so that you don’t know who is now a friend and who is an enemy - and at any price he is offering to buy, perhaps, his greatest career of evil.
At this time, Lord Vetinari, as a right-wing politician, is trying to juggle the interests of the living people, trying to keep his place afloat. To help him in this, the brilliant winemaker Leonard iz Kvirma and the significantly less gifted vartov, who are unwilling to reveal their potential.
