 The eighth Discworld novel - After this, dragons will never be the
same again! This is where the dragons went. They lie . . . not
dead, not asleep, but . . . dormant. And although the space they
occupy isn't like normal space, nevertheless they are packed in
tightly. They could put you in mind of a can of sardines, if you
thought sardines were huge and scaly. And presumably, somewhere,
there's a key . . .
				
		 
	
	
		
			
				
			
	
 First book of the original and best CITY WATCH series, now
reinterpreted in BBC's The Watch 'This is one of Pratchett's best
books. Hilarious and highly recommended' The Times The Discworld is
very much like our own - if our own were to consist of a flat
planet balanced on the back of four elephants which stand on the
back of a giant turtle, that is . . . _________________ 'It was the
usual Ankh-Morpork mob in times of crisis; half of them were here
to complain, a quarter of them were here to watch the other half,
and the remainder were here to rob, importune or sell hotdogs to
the rest.' Insurrection is in the air in the city of Ankh-Morpork.
The Haves and Have-Nots are about to fall out all over again.
Captain Sam Vimes of the city's ramshackle Night Watch is used to
this. It's enough to drive a man to drink. Well, to drink more. But
this time, something is different - the Have-Nots have found the
key to a dormant, lethal weapon that even they don't fully
understand, and they're about to unleash a campaign of terror on
the city. Time for Captain Vimes to sober up.
				
		 
	
	
		
			
				
			
	
 Everyone's favourite time traveller returns to do battle with his
greatest foes. Years after his peremptory departure from Totters
Lane (see the first ever story, 'Doctor Who: An Unearthly Child'),
the Doctor (Sylvester McCoy) returns to 1963 London to discover
that the military have been called in to do battle with an alien
invasion force at Coal Hill School. The aliens turn out to be none
other than the Daleks, whose Emperor wants to obtain a Gallifreyan
stellar manipulator - known as the Hand of Omega- which was left in
the Doctor's care. However, a group of renegade Daleks are also
after the Hand, in league with a fascistic human group. Can the
Doctor defeat both Dalek armies and prevent the Hand of Omega being
misused?
