About this eBook
'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.
'Consistently funny, consistently clever and consistently surprising in its twists and turns' SFX
Thud! is the seventh book in the City Watch series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.

I love thud! But I would be carefull to mention the mess that BBC thing was. The tv show was like it was written by someone who got Terry Pratchetts books described for him/her - by an illiterate with no sens of humor - and could not be bothered to actually read one of the authors books by themselves.

I love Terry Pratchett's style of writing. You never know where he'll take you. This story is one of my favorites so far...but i have a lot to go through yet!

One of my all time favourite books. Highly recommended to all Pratchett fans, particularly those who lie stories about the watch!

About the author
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.
