About this listen

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, because he has a job to do. He must track down a murderer, teach his younger self how to be a good copper, and change the outcome of a bloody rebellion. But there's a problem: if he wins, he's got no wife, no child, no future.

Here is a Discworld Tale of One City, with a full chorus of street urchins, ladies of negotiable affection, rebels, secret policemen, and other children of the revolution. Truth! Justice! Freedom! And a Hard-boiled Egg!

Please note: This is the abridged edition. An unabridged version is also available.

One of the best Discworld novels told beautifully

Tony Robinson's fantastic emotional range brings beauty to this short discworld novell. Filling this farce with pathos and wry humour.

Abridged needs to be stated more clearly

The book is a great as it ever was.
Unfortunately I purchased the abridged version by mistake. Audible had it within the subtitle in the app. Very disappointed and a waste of money.
