Commander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch is in hot pursuit of
a serial killer. The trouble is, a well-timed lightning strike has
thrown both policeman and pursued into the city’s past. Now Vimes must
relive the history that made him: a cruel regime, a bloody revolution,
a corrupt police force, and, most unnerving of all, a keen young
recruit named Sam Vimes… Night Watch, which draws on inspirations as
far ranging as Victor Hugo and M*A*S*H, is a keen satire about the true
nature of political power, and the sacrifices made in the name of the
greater good; but also a profoundly empathetic novel about community,
connection and the tenacity of the human spirit.
Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels are among the most successful and
influential fantasy titles of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
This edition of Night Watch – written at the height of Pratchett’s
imaginative powers – includes a new foreword by Rob Wilkins and an
introduction and annotations by Dr David Lloyd and Dr Darryl Jones,
contextualising the novel and Pratchett’s far-reaching legacy for new
readers and current fans alike.
