Discover the gloriously inventive and funny fantasy novel from bestselling author Terry Pratchett, the seventh book in the City Watch series, part of the Discworld novels.
'Consistently funny, consistently clever and consistently surprising in its twists and turns' SFX
'Entertaining, funny and thought provoking...I could not put it down' 5-star reader review
'For the enemy is not troll, nor is it dwarf, but it is the baleful, the malign, the cowardly, the vessels of hatred, those who do a bad thing and call it good ...'
In the city of Ankh-Morpork, tension is rising between dwarf and troll communities.
A dwarven fanatic has been stoking the flames of an old hatred born of the Battle of Koom Valley -an ancient war between the races that neither side has quite got over.
When the dwarf is murdered, with a troll the only witness, Commander Sam Vimes of the City Watch must solve the case before history repeats itself.
With his beloved Watch crumbling around him and war drums sounding, Vimes must unravel every clue, outwit every assassin and brave any darkness to find the solution. But darkness is following him ...
And at six o'clock every day he must go home to read a bedtime story to his son. There are some things you have to do.
Thud! is the seventh book in the City Watch series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.

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. www.terrypratchettbooks.com

Imaginative, witty and consistent - as in consistently funny, consistently clever and consistently surprising in its twists and turns SFX magazine
"Pratchett's fantastic imagination and satirical wit are on full display." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Imgenious, brilliant and hilarious." - Washington Post
"A delight from beginning to end." - Fantasy & Science Fiction
"One of the darker Discworld tales, Thud! does not disappoint." - Sunday Express (London)
"Pratchett, ever inventive, offers up his usual fun and games with typography and footnotes, a full complement of parody, word-play and swift allusion. . . . But Thud! moves from a comedy of multi-culti Ankh-Morpork manners into a pungent exploration of prejudice and dread, hypocrisy and rage. For all its magic carriage rides, technomancy and gloriously absurd transfigurations, on Discworld, the death of innocents (and innocence) is never cause for laughter." - New York Newsday
"As always, Pratchett's latest Discworld yarn is funny, fast-paced, the kind of satire that explores serious issues while making readers love it." - Booklist
"Funny, poignant, complicated and character-driven." - Locus
"The usual quick-moving, amusing and entertaining Pratchett tale. Pratchett has never shied away from using his settings and characters to offer commentary on the world, and [THUD!] is no different . . . . [Pratchett]'s his usual brilliant self here -- sarcastic, ironic, and just laugh-out-loud funny." - Associated Press
