Description:

Truth! Justice! Freedom! And a hard-boiled egg! Commander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch had it all. But now he's back in his own rough, tough past, without even the clothes he was standing up in when the lightning struck. Living in the past is hard. Dying in the past is incredibly easy. But he must survive; he has a job to do. He must track down a murderer, teach his young self to be a good copper and change the outcome of a bloody rebellion. There's a problem, though: if he wins, he's got no wife, no child, no future. This is a Discworld Tale of One City, with a full chorus of street urchins, rebels, secret policemen and other children of the revolution. Please note: This is a vintage recording. The audio quality may not be up to modern day standards.


Editor Recommendation:

I love all the Discworld novels, particularly the Guards series, and for me Night Watch is the best of them all. Vimes has had quite a life, falling all the way to the bottom, and then falling back up to the top. At this point he is a Duke, and Commander of the City Watch. But after a freak magical storm, he has gone back to the beginning and has to teach himself how to be himself. He didn't go back alone though...
