{"product_id":"9780241759011","title":"Night Watch by David Lloyd","description":"A definitive annotated edition of one of the greatest of Terry Pratchett's multi-million-bestselling Discworld novels'A master storyteller' A.S. Byatt`Both comic and dark, blending high fantasy, twisted storytelling and all manner of wordplay ... a fine place to start reading Pratchett' The New York Times Book ReviewCommander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch is in hot pursuit of a serial killer. The trouble is, a well-timed lightning strike has thrown both policeman and pursued into the city's past. Now Vimes must relive the history that made him: a cruel regime, a bloody revolution, a corrupt police force, and, most unnerving of all, a keen young recruit named Sam Vimes. Night Watch, which draws on inspirations as far ranging as Victor Hugo and M*A*S*H, is a keen satire about the true nature of political power, and the sacrifices made in the name of the greater good; but also a profoundly empathetic novel about community, connection and the tenacity of the human spirit.   This edition of Night Watch - written at the height of Pratchett's imaginative powers - includes a new foreword by Rob Wilkins and an introduction and annotations by Dr David Lloyd and Dr Darryl Jones, contextualising the novel and Pratchett's far-reaching legacy for new readers and current fans alike.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56230210503029,"sku":"9780241759011","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780241759011.jpg?v=1762263933","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780241759011","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
