Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
The audiobook of Night Watch is narrated by impressionist and actor Jon Culshaw, best known for BBC Radio 4’s Dead Ringers, and for the Doctor Who audiobooks and dramas. BAFTA and Golden Globe award-winning actor Bill Nighy (Love Actually; Pirates of the Caribbean; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) reads the footnotes, and Peter Serafinowicz (Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace; Shaun of the Dead) stars as the voice of Death. Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan.
'DON'T PUT YOUR TRUST IN REVOLUTIONS. THEY ALWAYS COME ROUND AGAIN. THAT'S WHY THEY'RE CALLED REVOLUTIONS. PEOPLE DIE, AND NOTHING CHANGES.'
The twenty-fifth of May is an important, sombre day in Ankh-Morpork - the anniversary of one of the city's bloodiest rebellions.
But crime stops for nothing, as Commander Sam Vimes of the City Watch knows. When a notorious serial killer emerges from hiding, the chase leads the Watch to the roofs of Unseen University where a magical storm is brewing. It's a case of wrong place, very wrong time.
For Vimes finds himself back in his own rough, tough past with only a killer for company and a city on the brink of revolution to contend with. But he must survive, because he has a job to do: track down the murderer and change the outcome of the rebellion.
And get back to the future before his wife gives birth, of course.
All in a day's work...
Night Watch is the sixth book in the City Watch series, but you can listen to the Discworld novels in any order.
The first book in the Discworld series - The Colour of Magic - was published in 1983. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this.

enjoyable listen
I've got all the old audio books but these are really different and worth the listen if you are wondering if it's worthwhile

IMO, it was a massive disservice to a fantastic novel
This is one of my favourite stories, so I was looking forward to the new adaptation.
I was saddened by the production.
For some reason, it’s been decided that it’s deserving of the most dramatic reading of all time. For the first time, I had to speed things up, just to get it away from the pace of going to a funeral.
It’s true that this story has some of the most graphic imagery in it, even though it is a very loose detailing, but the entire thing doesn’t deserve the pace set.
And maybe I’ve listened to Stephen Briggs’ reading too much, but the voices weren’t right.
Best thing? The volume was level.

Great new addition to Sir Terry Pratchett’s Audible collection
Jon Culshaw’s impressionist and acting skills bring Night Watch to life. It was always a deep read that needed time to allow all the subtleties of STP’s writing prowess to be fully absorbed. This Audible edition is perfect. Great listen!!

A real treat!
Night watch is my favourite Discworld book, and this is a fantastic reading of it. Loved it so much, the voice acting was brilliant, particularly Vimes. I’ve been listening to all the Watch audiobooks in order and was so looking forward to hearing this one - it was a real treat! Will definitely re-listen!

Just not the same
Great production. But the narrator just didn’t nail all the voices. A hard task because the previous narrators are so well loved but honestly you just can’t beat the original recordings.
