I thought you were overlooking Harry altogether, who I was referring too as a minor character, but you weren't at all. You are certainly right that Moist is the main protagonist of the books you mention. I'm sorry for the confusion! Now that I get it, I love the idea of Moist being used to modernize the Anhk-Morpork sewer system!Blackouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01819672996667698419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522018539311056682.post-5252198285361263162021-06-22T14:14:44.810-07:002021-06-22T14:14:44.810-07:00Well he's arguably the main protagonist of Goi...Well he's arguably the main protagonist of Going Postal, Making Money and Raising Steam, and I can certainly imagine him being asked to "get his hands dirty" introducing a Bazalgette style sewer project to replace the homegrown gong collectors employed by Harry King (with the associated conflict, mysticism and city threatening disasters that usually crop up).
