{"product_id":"9780241759011-3901","title":"Night Watch - Darryl Jones","description":"\u003cp\u003eA definitive annotated edition of one of the greatest of Terry Pratchett's multi-million-bestselling Discworld novels'A master storyteller' A.S. Byatt`Both comic and dark, blending high fantasy, twisted storytelling and all manner of wordplay ... a fine place to start reading Pratchett' The New York Times Book ReviewCommander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch is in hot pursuit of a serial killer. The trouble is, a well-timed lightning strike has thrown both policeman and pursued into the city's past. Now Vimes must relive the history that made him: a cruel regime, a bloody revolution, a corrupt police force, and, most unnerving of all, a keen young recruit named Sam Vimes. Night Watch, which draws on inspirations as far ranging as Victor Hugo and M*A*S*H, is a keen satire about the true nature of political power, and the sacrifices made in the name of the greater good; but also a profoundly empathetic novel about community, connection and the tenacity of the human spirit.   This edition of Night Watch - written at the height of Pratchett's imaginative powers - includes a new foreword by Rob Wilkins and an introduction and annotations by Dr David Lloyd and Dr Darryl Jones, contextualising the novel and Pratchett's far-reaching legacy for new readers and current fans alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Darryl Jones","offers":[{"title":"400 pages \/ 24\/04\/2025 \/ Science fiction","offer_id":56966028231031,"sku":"9780241759011","price":11.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9780241759011_f8f2a0d8-f6c3-4768-b1f7-6111559aab12.jpg?v=1775128887","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9780241759011-3901","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
