Time is of the essence in Terry Pratchett's twenty-sixth Discworld novel.
Klappentext zu „Thief of Time “
Time is a resource. Everyone knows it has to be managed. On Discworld that is the job of the Monks of History, who store it and pump it from the place where it's wasted (like underwater - how much time does a codfish need?) to places like cities where there's never enough time. But the construction of the world's first truly accurate clock starts a race against, well, time...

Rezension zu „Thief of Time “
"'Terry Pratchett is one of the great inventors of secondary - or imaginative or alternative - worlds. He is not derivative. He is too strong...He has the real energy of the primary storyteller'" -- A. S. Byatt The Times "'In a better world he would be acclaimed as a great writer rather than a merely successful one...This is the best Pratchett I've read...Ought to be a strong contender for The Booker Prize'" -- Charles Spencer Sunday Telegraph "'Reads with all the polished fluency and sure-footed pacing that have become Pratchett's hallmarks over the years'" -- Peter Ingham The Times On Saturday
