'''''Raising Steam''''' is the fortieth ''[[Discworld]]'' novel, and the final one written for adults.
Young Dick Simnel (son of the older Simnel from ''[[Reaper Man]]'') has invented the Disc's first steam locomotive. He brings it to Anhk-Morpork, where it quickly catches the attention of everyone, including Lord Vetinari, who sees the potential in having fast transportation to other nations on the Disc. It also catches the attention of some fundamentalist dwarfs, who think that it's an abomination and are willing to do something permanent about it. Of course Vetinari knows about the fundamentialists, so he appoints Moist von Lipwig - the only person who has a chance of surviving the creation of the railroad in charge of the project - as the liaison between the railroad company and the city.
