Absolutely! Terry Pratchett crafted a brilliant trilogy within Discworld centered on Moist von Lipwig. 'Making Money' (2007) dives into finance, with Moist taking over the Royal Mint and colliding with golems, greedy bankers, and his own moral growth. It’s sharper than a banker’s suit, exploring how money shapes society—and how Moist shapes money.
'Raising Steam' (2013) shifts gears to industrialization, with Moist promoting railways against magical sabotage and dwarf traditionalists. The stakes feel higher here, blending progress with Pratchett’s trademark humor. What fascinates me is how Moist evolves from a selfish scam artist to someone genuinely invested in Ankh-Morpork’s future. The sequels aren’t just follow-ups; they’re masterclasses in character development wrapped in absurdist brilliance.
While these complete Moist’s arc, Pratchett’s later books like 'Snuff' feature cameos, rewarding longtime fans. The sequels preserve the original’s spirit while expanding Discworld’s lore in fresh directions.
I can confirm it has two direct sequels that continue Moist von Lipwig's hilarious adventures. 'Making Money' picks up right after, with Moist being strong-armed into revamping Ankh-Morpork's banking system—same conman charm, new chaotic challenges. The final book in this mini-series is 'Raising Steam', where Moist faces his biggest test yet: introducing steam trains to Discworld. Terry Pratchett's genius shines in how each book builds on the last while keeping that signature wit. If you loved the original’s mix of satire and heart, these sequels deliver more of what makes Moist such an unforgettable character.
For fellow Discworld addicts: yes, and the sequels are wild rides. 'Making Money' throws Moist into economic reform, with Pratchett parodying everything from gold standards to office politics. The scene where the bank’s elderly clerks revolt via spreadsheet warfare is pure genius. Then 'Raising Steam' tackles technology’s march—think trains vs. trolls, with Moist as a reluctant revolutionary.
What sets these apart is their tonal shift. While 'Going Postal' focuses on redemption, the sequels explore legacy. Moist’s tricks mature into leadership, and Vetinari’s manipulations grow subtler. The books also sneak in deeper themes: 'Making Money' critiques greed, while 'Raising Steam' wrestles with progress versus tradition. Neither sequel just rehashes the original; they elevate Moist’s story into a trilogy about change—both personal and societal—on a world literally balanced on turtles.

Six months have passed since Harley left PTV, Ron and her love, Alexander, now she's just trying to move on, but putting the traumatic event that took place in California behind her, is easier said than done.
She hasn't had any contact with anyone in the SS since she left, knowing it would have just made 'Moving On' harder, but one evening, she receives a letter… from Jemma, begging her to return to PTV and help her and the girls get their outlaws out of Prison.
Will Harley help them out and prove she IS a member of the family after all or is the outlaw biker lifestyle just not for her?
"They called him the Prison Boss —a bloodthirsty monster who ruled the cells and terrified the guards. And I was the rookie cop they threw to the wolves."
Valeska wanted to earn her badge without her multi-millionaire father’s influence. But her bravery backfires when she’s assigned to Area 4—the personal kingdom of the notorious brutal prison boss, Dante Cross.
She swore she wouldn’t break. She swore she would look the monster in the eye and show no fear.
But pride comes before the fall.
Cornered in the dark, the Prison Boss rapes her, shattering her courage and leaving her trembling, terrified, and bearing a scar that will haunt her forever.
Worse than the pain is the look in his eyes. The amused glint he wore whenever she challenged or ordered him around is gone. In its place is a dark, cold, soul-wrenching gaze that freezes the blood in her veins.
She thought it was a one-time nightmare. But as he looks down at her with that terrifying, absolute possession, she realizes the truth...
He isn't done with her. This is only the beginning.
"Don't move," he trailed his kisses to my neck after saying it, his hands were grasping my hands, entwining his fingers with mine, putting them above my head. His woodsy scent of cologne invades my senses and I was aroused by the simple fact that his weight was slightly crushing me.

I’ve been following updates about 'The Postman' closely, and as far as I know, there hasn’t been any official announcement about a sequel. The novel wraps up with a sense of closure, but it leaves enough room for readers to imagine what could happen next. The author has mentioned in interviews that they’re exploring new projects, but nothing concrete has been said about continuing the story. Fans have been speculating online, with some hoping for a prequel or spin-off focusing on secondary characters. For now, it seems like the story stands alone, but I wouldn’t rule out the possibility of revisiting that world someday.
The protagonist in 'Going Postal' is Moist von Lipwig, a former con artist with a knack for smooth talking and quick thinking. When he's caught and sentenced to death, he gets an unexpected second chance when the Patrician of Ankh-Morpork offers him a deal - take over the failing Post Office or die. Moist isn't your typical hero; he's charming, manipulative, and always looking for an angle, but he grows into the role surprisingly well. Watching him transform the post office from a joke into a thriving service while outmaneuvering the corrupt clacks operators is pure joy. His journey from selfish criminal to reluctant hero makes him one of Terry Pratchett's most memorable characters.
I stumbled upon 'The Mailbox' years ago, and it left such a vivid impression—like finding an old letter tucked away in a drawer. From what I've gathered, there isn't a direct sequel, but the author has written other works that echo its themes. For instance, their later novel 'Whispers in the Hallway' explores similar ideas about loneliness and connection, though it’s not a continuation. Fans often debate whether certain short stories in their collection 'Fragments of Forgotten Time' could be spiritual successors, but nothing’s confirmed. Honestly, part of me hopes they never make a sequel; some stories are perfect as standalone mysteries.
That said, if you loved the atmospheric tension of 'The Mailbox,' you might enjoy 'The Attic Letters' by another writer—it’s got that same slow-burn eeriness. Sometimes, the absence of a sequel makes the original feel even more special, like a single footprint in the snow.
