About the Book

A paperback edition with the original cover art of the classic fantasy novel by Terry Pratchett, the seventh book in the City Watch series, part of the Discworld novels. 'Consistently funny, consistently clever and consistently surprising in its twists and turns' SFX ‘Entertaining, funny and thought provoking…I could not put it down’ 5-star reader review 'For the enemy is not troll, nor is it dwarf, but it is the baleful, the malign, the cowardly, the vessels of hatred, those who do a bad thing and call it good...' In the city of Ankh-Morpork, tension is rising between dwarf and troll communities. A dwarven fanatic has been stoking the flames of an old hatred born of the Battle of Koom Valley -an ancient war between the races that neither side has quite got over. When the dwarf is murdered, with a troll the only witness, Commander Sam Vimes of the City Watch must solve the case before history repeats itself. With his beloved Watch crumbling around him and war drums sounding, Vimes must unravel every clue, outwit every assassin and brave any darkness to find the solution. But darkness is following him... And at six o'clock every day he must go home to read a bedtime story to his son. There are some things you have to do. Thud! is the seventh book in the City Watch series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order. Praise for the Discworld series: '[Pratchett’s] spectacular inventiveness makes the Discworld series one of the perennial joys of modern fiction' Mail on Sunday ‘Pratchett is a master storyteller’ Guardian 'One of our greatest fantasists, and beyond a doubt the funniest' George R.R. Martin 'One of those rare writers who appeals to everyone’ Daily Express ‘One of the most consistently funny writers around’ Ben Aaronovitch ‘Masterful and brilliant’ Fantasy & Science Fiction ‘Pratchett uses his other world to hold up a distorting mirror to our own… he is a satirist of enormous talent ... incredibly funny ... compulsively readable' The Times ‘The best humorous English author since P.G. Wodehouse' The Sunday Telegraph ‘Nothing short of magical’ Chicago Tribune 'Consistently funny, consistently clever and consistently surprising in its twists and turns' SFX ‘[Discworld is] compulsively readable, fantastically inventive, surprisingly serious exploration in story form of just about any aspect of our world…There's never been anything quite like it’ Evening Standard

About the Author :
Terry Pratchett was the acclaimed creator of the global bestselling Discworld series, the first of which, The Colour of Magic, was published in 1983. In all, he was the author of over fifty bestselling books which have sold over 100 million copies worldwide. His novels have been widely adapted for stage and screen, and he was the winner of multiple prizes, including the Carnegie Medal. He was awarded a knighthood for services to literature in 2009, although he always wryly maintained that his greatest service to literature was to avoid writing any. www.terrypratchettbooks.com

Review :
Imaginative, witty and consistent - as in consistently funny, consistently clever and consistently surprising in its twists and turnss - Thud! is everything that the 30th novel in a fantasy sequence ought to be, and more. Pratchett too requires us to think. Whenever I read his stories I find myself thinking that he is "grown up". He may write benign comedy but he knows how horribly complicated and exciting the Universe is. 'Thud! has a serious theme: racial intolerance. That Pratchett can explore this while still making us laugh is a tribute to the integrity of his created world ...'
