About this listen
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, because he has a job to do. He must track down a murderer, teach his younger self how to be a good copper, and change the outcome of a bloody rebellion. But there's a problem: if he wins, he's got no wife, no child, no future.
Here is a Discworld Tale of One City, with a full chorus of street urchins, ladies of negotiable affection, rebels, secret policemen, and other children of the revolution. Truth! Justice! Freedom! And a Hard-boiled Egg!
Please note: This is the abridged edition. An unabridged version is also available.

A wonderful abridged version. Great audiobook.
Tony Robinson does a fantastic job of narrating my favourite of Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels. Hearing a single line is enough to take me back to my childhood staying up late to keep listening. The only pause for thought is one or two odd moments where the abridging of the story removes a subplot of the novel that provides some tidbit of context for what's going on. I don't feel that it detracts from the experience.

Great Story - shame it's abridged
As a huge Terry Pratchett fan I can't help but love any of his work and for me Tony Robinson is by far the best narrator of the Discworld series available on Audible. The problem is that all the books he reads are abridged.
As a rule I hate abridged versions of anything as I believe that if the author wrote it , then the editors should leave it alone; however Tony Robinson's brilliant performance almost makes up for the lost copy.
Definitely worth a listen but please, please ,PLEASE get Tony to do some full length books.

Another good read!
Most Sir Terry fans have their favourite themed novels, and I have to say that, whilst liking the wiches, Death and the urban themes, I am first and foremost a City Watch fan. This book is devoted primarily to Vimes, and in it Pratchett explores some really interesting and thoughtful ideas about time and the nature of how we form personality, whilst including a brilliant plot twist (or seven), some cracking action scenes and shedloads of humour. It's really a loving insight into the archetypal hard-bitten cop, who we've seen grow from hopeless but idealist drunken wastrel to happily married bloke and father-to-be. It's probably my favourite Discworld book. And then came Thud!
