'Beating people up in little rooms . . . he knew where that led. And if you did it for a good reason, you'd do it for a bad one. You couldn't say 'we;re the good guys' and do bad-guy things.'

Koom Valley, the ancient battle where the trolls ambushed the dwarfs, or the dwarfs ambushed the trolls, was a long time ago.

But if he doesn't solve the murder of just one dwarf, Commander Sam Vimes of Ankh-Morpork City Watch is going to see it fought again, right outside his office.

With his beloved Watch crumbling around him and war-drums sounding, he must unravel every clue, outwit every assassin and brave any darkness to find the solution. And darkness is following him.

Oh . . . and at six o'clock every day, without fail, with no excuses, he must go home to read 'Where's My Cow?', with all the right farmyard noises, to his little boy.

There are some things you have to do.

The Discworld novels can be listened to in any order but Thud! is the seventh book in the City Watch series.

Pure genius as always

As an avid and long-standing fan of Terry Pratchett, his fantastical Discworld and all his superb characters in it, I am possibly very, very biased. What a brilliant satirist. What a brilliant sense of humour. So many laugh out loud moments.

A much-needed, humorous life-line while making your way through all the crazy happenings in the 'real' world.

If you are here as a new-comer to Mr Pratchett's brilliance it's worth starting at the beginning with book 1 (The Colour of Magic). Although not a pre-requisite - you can dive in at any point really, as they read as individual novels - but there is wonderful character development that evolves from novel to novel (some are children's books, so you can skip those until you've run out of the adult ones!!). His novels just get better and better and richer in depth as they go on. Like treasure in a treasure chest. Which they are.

awesome!

I love Pratchett's books, therefore 5 stars for the story. I would gladly give 7 stars for performance, if it was possible, I was amazed by it. I do recommend this one without hesitation.
