Description
'The universe is, instant by instant, recreated anew . . . The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it.'
Time is a resource. Everyone knows it must be managed. You can let it move fast or slowly, but what you mustn't do is allow it to stop.
On the Discworld, the History Monks have the important job of ensuring that tomorrow always comes. But the construction of the world's first truly accurate clock starts a race against, well . . . time.
Monk Lu-Tze, his apprentice Lobsang Ludd and Death's granddaughter Susan must stop the clockmaker before he completes his task. Because a truly accurate clock will stop time completely.
And then, there really will be no tomorrow . . .
'This is the best Pratchett I've read' Sunday Telegraph
Thief of Time is the fifth book in the Death series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.
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.

Reviews
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. * 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 * Sunday Telegraph *
Reads with all the polished fluency and sure-footed pacing that have become Pratchett's hallmarks over the years. * The Times On Saturday *
