About this listen

Sam Vimes is a man on the run.

Yesterday he was a duke, a chief of police and the ambassador to the mysterious, fat-rich country of Uberwald.

Now he has nothing but his native wit and the gloomy trousers of Uncle Vanya (don't ask). It's snowing. It's freezing. And if he can't make it through the forest to civilization there's going to be a terrible war.

But there are monsters on his trail. They're bright. They're fast. They're werewolves - and they're catching up. Sam Vimes is out of time, out of luck and already out of breath . . .

Despite what the title picture says, it is read by Tony Robinson which is disappointing. Pratchett's story is as amazing as ever, but let down by Robinson's performance.

Not Stephen Briggs

Audio was very hissy and quiet but improved slightly half way through. Still and enjoyable story and great narration by Tony Robinson.

Great story and narration, poor audio quality

I love this version of Terry Prachetts the fifth elephant. It is my favourite book of the Ankh-Morpk series and Tony Tobinson as always lightens up the characters.

delightful
