A thunderstorm made of ambient Disc-World magic and meteorology strikes with an immeasurably powerful gigabit-thaum lightening bolt directly on Commander Samuel Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch as he wrestles with a deranged murderer atop a skylight that caps the library that houses the largest collection of magical books in this or any other universe.

And again, this is one of his best.Īpart from the premise, there is very little magic in the story line. I’ve been reading Sir Terry P.’s work for nearly three decades now…I’ve read this particular one more than once…it would alarm Mr to know how many times I’ve read and re-read the Disc-World novels.
