Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett

Thief of Time (Death, #5) (Discworld, #26)

by Terry Pratchett

The twenty-sixth Discworld novel from Britain s funniest and bestselling novelist. Time is a resource. Everyone knows it has to be managed. And on Discworld that is the job of the Monks of History, who store it and pump it from the places 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 for Lu Tze and his apprentice Lobsang Ludd. Because it will stop time. And that will only be the start of everyone s problems. Thief of Time comes complete with a full supporting cast of heroes and villains, yetis, martial artists and Ronnie, the fifth horseman of the Apocalypse (who left before they became famous)."
