About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Over 1 million Discworld audiobooks sold – discover the extraordinary universe of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld like never before.
'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.
'Imaginative, witty and consistent' SFX

Wake Up Bill and fire the sound fx guy
Nothing to say about the story, it's Pratchett and typically amazing.
Jon Culshaw's performance is great, but Bill Nighy sounds like he just woke up and couldn't care less. The sound effect played before and after Nighy reads the footnotes is more than a bit jarring and ruins the flow of an otherwise spectacular audiobook. The audio quality of the older books was easy to get over after a bit, but that sound effect just can't be ignored.
Nighy's performance and that sound effect are the only thing keeping this from being a 5 star.

Amazing Book
Narration continues to improve as series goes on. The book remains as good as it has allways been.

Fantastic narrator
I have always enjoyed Terry Pratchett’s City Watch series having read them each several times and listening to audio collections. However this audio narrated by Jon Culshaw ( with others) is excellent . I have deleted earlier audios with different narrator in favour of this narrator. His interpretation of Vimes in particular is colourful and sounds like “ a real copper” Look forward to listening to this again.
