Thief of Time

By Terry Pratchett

A novel of Discworld

What's going wrong in Discworld now? It's quite simple really. Some idiot has been commissioned to build the perfect clock. If this clock  is started, Time will stop. This is bad. Therefore, the Monks of History have sent the famous Lu-Tze and his new apprentice Lobsang Ludd to stop it. Death (yes, Death, you know, tall, skeletal, wears black, carries a scyth, shows up when you die? Ring any bells?) has also taken an interest in the clock and it's effect on Time. He has asked his granddaughter, Miss Susan, to investigate and see what she can do. She is most definitely Miss Susan, not Susan, or Sue, or anything else, and is a schoolteacher. This is a very good book and is very funny. Read it, enjoy it, and above all always remember Rule One. Heheheh.
