Synopsis:
|
When a magical event during a pursuit lands Commander
Vimes and dangerous criminal 30 years in the past, Sam Vimes has to walk a
difficult path. It isn't easy keeping your regular self alive whilst watching
over your younger self, trying to keep a city on the brink of civil war from
destroying itself and managing to capture your quarry in order to ensure
there's a future to get back to.
|
|
Verdict:
|
Of all the Discworld sequences, the City Watch books are
my favourites, hands down. The social issues explored, the challenges faced
by the watchmen, the sheer heart-breaking brilliance that is Sam Vimes all
make for a potent and compelling experience every time.
