Thief Of Time

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The twenty-sixth Discworld novel, now available in hardback as part of the Discworld Collector's Library.

A beautiful new hardback edition of the classic Discworld novel.

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 by Terry Pratchett captures the whimsical yet profound essence of Discworld, delving into notions of time and adventure.
