Available:About this book:- The thirteenth novel in the Discworld series from New York Times bestselling author Terry Pratchett.
- "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. Where the strangest things happen to the nicest people. Like Brutha, a simple lad who only wants to tend his melon patch. Until one day he hears the voice of a god calling his name. A small god, to be sure. But bossy as Hell."

A lot of other books in the series could be grouped together based on characters, like the City Watch (Vimes), the Witches, Death, Moist von Lipwig, and a several others, but honestly you can jump in anywhere.
Also, I hear there is good eating in tortoises.
You will be fine reading this first. It's one of the better books with a richer plot than some of the others. You will miss some of the deeper immersion into the workings of the Discworld universe, but not in a way that you will feel like you got shortchanged. The stories that carry over books are not super dependent on each other, most are character backgrounds that continue across the series, so while this book has a few recurring characters, it's not critical to their development. Few in the series are complete characters.
There are good novels after this one -- his average work is better from here on out than in his earlier works -- but nothing tops this.
If you only read one Discworld novel (and I wouldn't recommend stopping at one), it should be Small Gods.
