Richard's review of Night Watch: A Discworld Novel
Night Watch: A Discworld Novel (Paperback) by Terry Pratchett
Second or third read for "Night Watch." One of the very best of Pratchett's Diskworld novels. Sam Vimes, awaiting the birth of his child with Dame Sybil, is transported via a magical time wormhole, thirty years past where he takes on the role provided, in his own past, by John Keel, who taught him what it was like to be a "copper" on the night watch in Ankh-Morpork. As with all of the "watch" novels involving Sam Vimes, there's a lot of philosophy, of a strong life-view in the book. The Diskworld novels are very funny, in a surreal way, but also have much to make one think in them.
