Synopsis

Brought to you by Penguin.

Over 1 million Discworld audiobooks sold – discover the extraordinary universe of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld like never before.

The audiobook of Thief of Time is narrated by the BAFTA award-winning actor Sian Clifford (Fleabag; Vanity Fair; Quiz). BAFTA and Golden Globe award-winning actor Bill Nighy (Love Actually; Pirates of the Caribbean; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) reads the footnotes, and Peter Serafinowicz (Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace; Shaun of the Dead) stars as the voice of Death. Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan.

'The universe is, instant by instant, recreated anew... The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it.'

Time is a resource. Everyone knows it must be managed. You can let it move fast or slowly, but what you mustn't do is allow it to stop.

On the Discworld, the History Monks have the important job of ensuring that tomorrow always comes. But the construction of the world's first truly accurate clock starts a race against, well... time.

Monk Lu-Tze, his apprentice Lobsang Ludd and Death's granddaughter Susan must stop the clockmaker before he completes his task. Because a truly accurate clock will stop time completely.

And then, there really will be no tomorrow...

The Discworld novels can be listened to in any order, but Thief of Time is the fifth book in the Death series.

The first book in the Discworld series - The Colour of Magic - was published in 1983. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this.

Goodreads review by Mario the lone bookwolf on November 07, 2020

The Auditors didn´t think about the true potential of seemingly wacky teachings, although their manifestations have never been that sexy. Master and apprentice, the wise old man using very unconventional and seemingly strange teaching methods, concepts, and even finally achieved abilities, are driven......more

This was my first exposure to the work of Terry Pratchett. As a long-time Douglas Adams fan, I had heard Pratchett's name many times, but never took the time to actually read one of his books. I grabbed this one because the plot sounded interesting, and when I read the jacket at home, I noticed it w......more

Goodreads review by Bradley on January 29, 2025

Re-read: 1/29/25 Strangely enough, even after multiple readings, I find myself loving this novel more and more and more. Or is that more divided by two but the squared by 72, for the number of average heartbeats per minute? Ah, never mind, I'm just gonna stand here and spin little flowers of time unt......more

Goodreads review by Julian on May 01, 2022

This book comes alive (hehe) when Susan Sto Helit, her grandfather Death, and Ronnie Soak are involved more in the story. The part with the monks heading to Ankh Morpork does drag a little bit. The development of The Auditors' behaviour is hilarious, even though it's a depressing comment on humanity......more
