Publisher's Summary

An aura of mean-minded resentfulness is thick in the streets of Ankh-Morpork. Insurrection is in the air. The Haves and Have-Nots are about to fall out all over again. The Have-Nots want some of their own magic. But magic in the hands of amateurs is a dangerous thing.

The City Watch is the last line of defence against such unnatural goings-on. But when even the Watch have trouble telling right from wrong, you know that law and order ain't what they used to be. But that's all about to change.

Critic Reviews

"Pratchett has a masterful ear for dialogue, a keen eye for the ridiculous, and a real feel for language." ( Time Out)

I love it but MUCH prefer the unabridged

The only reason I'm not giving it full marks is that it's a very abridged version. The Night Watch series is my absolute favourite, read it hunderds of times, so missing sentences or chunks of dialogues in this abridged version disagree with me. Tony Robison's voice is wonderful, although I'm used to and very like Nigel Planer's version as well - they are both masters.

A different hero's journey.

Loved it. Enjoyed it. Highly recommend and cannot say enough positive comments about Terry Pratchett and his skills as an author. Love the Discworld.
