About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

'Don't put your trust in revolutions. They always come round again. That's why they're called revolutions. People die, and nothing changes.'

For a policeman, there can be few things worse than a serial killer loose in your city. Except, perhaps, a serial killer who targets coppers, and a city on the brink of bloody revolution.

For Commander Sam Vimes, it all feels horribly familiar. He’s back in his own rough, tough past without even the clothes he was standing up in when the lightning struck. Living in the past is hard. But he must survive, because he has a job to do. He must track down the murderer and change the outcome of the rebellion.

The problem is: if he wins, he's got no wife, no child, no future...

A Discworld Tale of One City, with a full chorus of street urchins, ladies of negotiable affection, rebels, secret policemen and other children of the revolution.

Truth! Justice! Freedom! And a Hard-boiled Egg!

Most Sir Terry fans have their favourite themed novels, and I have to say that, whilst liking the wiches, Death and the urban themes, I am first and foremost a City Watch fan. This book is devoted primarily to Vimes, and in it Pratchett explores some really interesting and thoughtful ideas about time and the nature of how we form personality, whilst including a brilliant plot twist (or seven), some cracking action scenes and shedloads of humour. It's really a loving insight into the archetypal hard-bitten cop, who we've seen grow from hopeless but idealist drunken wastrel to happily married bloke and father-to-be. It's probably my favourite Discworld book. And then came Thud!

Another good read!
