About this listen
Time is a resource. Everyone knows it has to be managed. On Discworld that is the job of the highly capable Monks of History, who store it and pump it from the places where it's wasted (like underwater - how much time does a codfish need?) to places like cities, where there's never enough time. But the construction of the world's first truly accurate clock starts a race against, well, time, for the monk Lu Tze and his apprentice Lobsang Ludd. For if the perfect clock starts ticking, Time, as we know it, will stop. And then the trouble will really begin.
Subtle, sly, thought-provoking, and hilarious, Thief of Time is Terry Pratchett at his best.
This multi-voice production features Christopher Cazenove, Gabrielle de Cuir, Karesa McElheny, John Rubinstein, and Stefan Rudnicki, with a guest appearance by Harlan Ellison.

A captivating listen but sound quality can be low.
It is possibly my favorite Discworld story with witty and interesting characters. It is an older recording and the volume reflects that but i love this version of thief of time!
