Who's murdering harmless old men? Who's poisoning the Patrician? As autumn fogs hold Ankh-Morpork in their grip, the City Watch has to track down a murderer who can't be seen. Maybe the golems know something - but the solemn men of clay, who work all day and night and are never any trouble to anyone, have started to commit suicide....

Story
The town of Ankh-Morpork is in big trouble and the City Watch is desperate for a few good men to protect it. But all they've got are the dwarves Corporal Carrot and Lance-constable Cuddy, the troll Lance-constable Detritus, Lance-constable Angua, who is believed to be a woman and, worst of all, Corporal Nobbs, who has been disqualified from the human race for shoving! These underdogs need all the help they can get, for they've been given only 24 hours to clean up the war-torn town.

Interesting Times, the 17th novel in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, finds the planet's oldest empire in the midst of bitter turmoil after the publication of the revolutionary treatise What I Did on My Holidays. Workers, with nothing to lose but their water buffaloes, are joining forces against old warlords, spreading violence throughout Discworld's ancient cities. All that stands in the way of total destruction are three decidedly non-heroic creatures.

Now, suddenly, Discworld is brought to the brink of an all-out thaumaturgical war. The only hope for peace is Rincewind, the failed magician who has a risky plan to save the world. He enlists the help of several odd new characters, including Conina the barbarian hairdresser, Nijel the Destroyer and a yuppie genie who sees lamps as a growth industry.

Publisher's Summary
Truth! Justice! Freedom! And a hard-boiled egg!
Commander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch had it all. But now he's back in his own rough, tough past, without even the clothes he was standing up in when the lightning struck.
Living in the past is hard. Dying in the past is incredibly easy. But he must survive; he has a job to do. He must track down a murderer, teach his young self to be a good copper and change the outcome of a bloody rebellion. There's a problem, though: if he wins, he's got no wife, no child, no future.
This is a Discworld Tale of One City, with a full chorus of street urchins, rebels, secret policemen and other children of the revolution.
Please note: This is a vintage recording. The audio quality may not be up to modern day standards.
Critic Reviews
"British author Pratchett's storytelling, a clever blend of Monty Pythonesque humor and Big Questions about morality and the workings of the universe, is in top form...in the phenomenally bestselling Discworld series." (Publishers Weekly)
"Stephen Briggs's voices add dimension to the characters while avoiding exaggeration. He brings out the satire without compromising the subtlety of the humor.... The series is meant to be read aloud." (AudioFile)
"The author's talent for comedy does not falter as he continues to set the standard for comic fantasy." (Library Journal)

Pratchett at his best.
In pursuit of a criminal, Commander Samuel Vimes is thrown back in time to become John Keel, the mentor to his younger self. The twists, turns and political intrigue are inter-mingled with the usual blend of Pratchett humour and wit. This is Pratchett at his very best and, through the excellent story-telling and vocal characterisations of Stephen Briggs, is a pleasure to listen to or to revisit for anyone who has already read the novel. Five star rating!

Well, I've read the book many times, but this was the first time I listened to it and as the headline shows, I enjoyed it very much. Maybe too much. Luckily it is not a work day today! :)) Stephen Briggs' rendition of the characters was fabulous.

Simply the best
What more is there to say. In the watch series this is my favorite. Maybe read or listen to the previous books before before this one, just to make it that much better.
Do not listen to anyone suggesting Tony Robinson, not because his narration is directly poor, but because he narrates an abridged edition. That is something you never want to do to a Pratchett book, and really shouldn't listen to.

One of the best Pratchett stories
What did you like about this audiobook?
I would definitely recommend
How has the book increased your interest in the subject matter?
For the first time in a long while, I was surprised by a Discworld tale. When you are a fan of a long-term, 40-odd book series, that is a very good thing.
Does the author present information in a way that is interesting and insightful, and if so, how does he achieve this?
Mr Briggs is simply Discworld characters alive. No disrespect to the talents of Mr. Nigel Planer and Mr. Tony Robinson, but there is a feeling of rightness when it is Stephen Briggs who narrates the Discworld stories.

Sam Vimes at his best and most competent. Paying off the history, characters and character development of discworld. Just good stuff, my favorite of the night watch saga so far.
(The audio was good but the character's emotions didn't match the stated mood a bunch of times, so like 9/10 there. Still very enjoyable.)

Terry Pratchett has got to be one of the best story tellers of our time. For young and old alike, his stories remain entertaining and insightful. I look forward to having children that I may share this wonderful gift with them, in the hopes they’ll find as much love for them as I have.

Serious fun.
I don't remember being blown away by this book when I first read it, but that was close to a decade ago and I wasn't really old enough to appreciate this story, which is deep and complex even by Pratchett's standards. Listening to it now I'm very glad I chose it. Pratchett's understanding of human nature and capability for more serious storytelling shines through here. Both the hero (Vimes) and the main villain (Carcer) make great character studies and are treated like real people influencing events rather than plot-driving juggernauts. The time travel element is handled sensitively and believably and gives an insight into old Ankh-Morpork which fits in perfectly with the previously sketchy details of how bad things were in the old days. This book is perhaps less funny than some other Discworld novels (though still amusing), but it more than makes up for it in the depth of the setting and the quality of the storytelling. Highly recommended.
Stephen Briggs's reading is as always excellent, though here more than ever his habit of giving everyone different accents is a bit jarring. Still, the narration is good and the voices and characterisation is engaging.

Night Watch stands above the rest
It's hard to keep reviewing Terry Pratchett's work because the same compliments apply again and again! He really was one of the greatest writers of our age.
However, a couple of the books stand out as even better than the rest - this is one of them. I can listen to it again and again and enjoy it as much - if not more - every time.
A brilliant story. Wonderful characters - clearly a great imagination is at work here, and woven through the whole thing is humour, wit, satire, a astute observation of the human condition, and a passion for ridiculing pomposity and stupidity.
Absolutely brilliant - highly recommended

Truth, Justice, Freedom, Reasonably Priced Love..
"Truth, Justice, Freedom, Reasonably Priced Love, and a Hard-Boiled Egg!"
Night Watch is one of the best and most well loved books in the Discworld, and the audio book doesn't disappoint.
Within this story you have mention of the wearing of lilac to commemorate the The People's Revolution uprising on the 25th May.
Following Terry Pratchett's announcement about early onset Alzheimer, many fans refer to wearing lilac, or using the above quote on the 25th of May as a tribute, and also to raise money for Alzheimer research.
I think for that reason alone, this book is always likely to be one of the top Terry Pratchett books of all time.

Good story: poor delivery
As usual, a good Terry Pratchett. It was left down by the structure and delivery. The story was delivered in a single chapter, which made it difficult to use when alternating between two devices. I listen via a tablet and when out and about, via a smart phone. It was fiddley picking up the right place when going from one to the other.
The narrator's voice kept changing even in the middle of speech from on character. The accents also changed for the same speaker so it was hard to keep track of who was speaking. It was the story itself that brought the score up to three stars.

One of my favourite Pratchett stories
I love this book so was pleased to find it on Audible. I generally found it a good listen, however the range of accents felt a little bit like Briggs showing off! I appreciate that any city will have it's variations, but it was hard to find a common accent across the range of characters. Also I found Briggs' pacing a bit odd in places, but once I'd got used to it I barely noticed it.
Overall an enjoyable story for any Pratchett fan.

My favourite City Watch book
This is by far my favourite City Watch Discworld book. The time travel is intriguing. I do prefer Steven Brigg's voice for Vimes and Vetinarie (sp?) but Nigel Planar's voice is better for Carrott. Both narrators bring life to the characters and I highly recommend them both.
I have been reading the discworld in order of story lines. It is like a little mini series. I would recommend starting the City Watch series from the beginning. I have become very attached to the characters and am not looking forward to them ending in two books time.
Definitely worth the listen.

Loved the story and reader but the editing was annoying. When they faded in and out as they spliced recordings together they missed words, sometimes vital ones. Made listening frustrating.

old but good.
Enjoyed revisiting this. All of the old friends from the night watch.
I alwas thought Colon& Nobby Nobs were the same age, so some surprises.

My first Pratchett, loved every second
Great book, won me over to Pratchett. A serious story, told in a silly way, perfect balance of both. Excellent narration, not like the monotone nonsense you usually get on Audible. Highly recommend.

It doesn’t get better than this👍🏼
Story and narration is delightful, everyone will love this Pratchett gem.
I’ve read the book, but the narration here had me laughing out loud with tears running down my face.
Perfect.

Wish I could hear it again for the first time.
So good in so many ways. The performance was stellar and I am off to find more Pratchett immediately. Briggs was so good I could have sworn some of the dialogue was actually two people talking to each other. Will definitely revisit.

Pratchett Gold
This book is most fantastic; a bit more suspense and action than the usual Pratchett, with all the wit and imagination. I recommend highly

great story
Love Terry Pratchett's books, most of all the ones with Sam Vimes.
I think Stephen Briggs does a great job aswell.
Highly enjoyable.
