Summary
Time is a resource. Everyone knows it has to be managed. And on Discworld, that is the job of the Monks of History, who store it and pump it from the places where it's wasted (like underwater; how much time does a codfish need?) to places like cities, where there's never enough time.
But the construction of the world's first truly accurate clock starts a race against, well, time for Lu Tze and his apprentice, Lobsang Ludd. Because it will stop time. And that will only be the start of everyone's problems.
Thief of Time comes complete with a full supporting cast of heroes and villains, yetis, martial artists and Ronnie, the fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse (who left before they became famous).
Critic reviews

But f-in abbreviated!
Such a masterpiece! Such a narrator! Why destroy it all by chopping it to this teensy, puny piece and sell it as a Book? Put a BIG sign on it "Take care, it's not the real thing your paying for!". I made a mistake buying this piece of ****.

very short
decent story but it's very short. performance by Tony Robinson is good but doesn't make up for the face that I finished listening to the book in 2 shirt journeys.

Too short - get the full version
this is a heavily abridged version at 3.5 hours. Get the full length version. it's much better
