Night Watch
Night Watch | Terence David John Pratchett
3 posts | 41 read | 17 to read
One moment, Sir Sam Vimes is in his old patrolman form, chasing a sweet-talking psychopath across the rooftops of Ankh-Morpork. The next, he's lying naked in the street, having been sent back thirty years courtesy of a group of time-manipulating monks who won't leave well enough alone. This Discworld is a darker place that Vimes remembers too well, three decades before his title, fortune, beloved wife, and impending first child. Worse still, the murderer he's pursuing has been transported back also. Worst of all, it's the eve of a fabled street rebellion that needlessly destroyed more than a few good (and not so good) men. Sam Vimes knows his duty, and by changing history he might just save some worthwhile necks--though it could cost him his own personal future. Plus there's a chance to steer a novice watchman straight and teach him a valuable thing or three about policing, an impressionable young copper named Sam Vimes.

Realized I never posted my review of this for #SummerEndReadathon! In this Discworld installment, Sam Vimes gets "timenapped" and sent into a pivotal event from his past. You can see how these memories shaped Sam's moral code (which doesn't always match the legal code!) and personality, and understand why he needs that reminder right as he's becoming a father.

Shameless picture of Watney in his comfy spot!

"Sam Vimes sighed when he heard the scream, but he finished shaving before he did anything about it."

Innocuous beginning before Sam goes across the multiverse!

SaunteringVaguelyDownwards Also kind of amused at the book tag's insistence on Terry Prachett's full name! 8mo
TheSpineView Great opening line! 8mo
