Publisher's Summary

Koom Valley? That was where the trolls ambushed the dwarfs, or the dwarfs ambushed the trolls. It was far away. It was a long time ago.

But if he doesn't solve the murder of just one dwarf, Commander Sam Vimes of Ankh-Morpork City Watch is going to see it fought again, right outside his office.

With his beloved Watch crumbling around him and war drums sounding, he must unravel every clue, outwit every assassin, and brave any darkness to find the solution. And darkness is following him.

Oh, and at six o'clock every day, without fail, with no excuses, he must go home to read Where's My Cow?, with all the right farmyard noises, to his little boy. There are just some things you have to do.

Please note: This is a vintage recording. The audio quality may not be up to modern day standards.

    Story
    "Briggs brings out the best of Pratchett"
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    Yes, definitely. I am a huge fan of Pratchett's work, and Briggs brings out the best in it: laugh-out-loud humour, fun, and insight into our world and his.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Vimes. He's cynical, mistrustful, a little bit prejudiced, and plenty flawed, but for all that, he's our hero, and he's a genuinely good, genuinely likeable man who can carry the listener along with his experience.


    What about Stephen Briggs’s performance did you like?

    I love Briggs' character voices; they really bring the work to life.


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    The denouement of this book never fails to move me as the battle between light and dark over the heart of a good man reaches its peak.

    Story
    "Pratchett delightful as ever, Briggs superb"
    If you could sum up Thud! in three words, what would they be?

    delightful, mind-bending


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Thud!?

    Vimes finally missing his 6 o'clock appointment


    What about Stephen Briggs’s performance did you like?

    No one else should ever be allowed to read Prachett


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    Of course

    "Sam Vines at his best again"

    Love the Sam Vines book and his character development. Once again Disc World is in chaos. Look for the little bits of humour, they are the best, although I wonder if the last laugh isn't on all of us!

    Story
    "Another very good novel"

    This was another very good novel from Terry Pratchett and also a good narration. Although Pratchett writes each story to be fully self-contained, this should be read before Snuff (which I did not do). Enjoy.
