    Die Nachtwächter, Hörbuch, Digital, 225min
    Um einer ermüdenden Gedenkveranstaltung der Stadtwache zu entgehen, greift Sir Samuel Vimes mitunter zu allen nur denkbaren Mitteln. Wenn es sein muss, lässt er sich sogar dazu herab, eigenhändig einem Verbrecher nachzujagen - vor allem, wenn es sich um einen ausgemachten Fiesling handelt, der Offizieren der Wache nach dem Leben trachtet. Wie der Zufall es will, endet die Verfolgungsjagd für Vimes dieses Mal sehr überraschend: Auf dem Dach der Unsichtbaren Universität gerät er in einen Zeitsturm und wird drei Jahrzehnte in die Vergangenheit geschleudert. Und diese Vergangenheit hat es in sich. In Ankh Morpork herrscht ein wahnsinniger Tyrann, und die Stadtwache fungiert nur noch als Handlanger der blutrünstigen Geheimpolizei. Sam Vimes beschließt alsbald, diesem Spuk ein Ende zu bereiten, doch das ist leichter gesagt als getan. Erst muss er das Vertrauen seines jüngeren Ichs gewinnen und ihm die Grundbegriffe der Ehre und der Polizeiarbeit lehren. Als es zu einem Aufstand kommt, gelingt es Sam, die Stadtwache als ehrliche und effektive Einheit zu etablieren. Jetzt muss er nur noch in seine eigene Zeit zurückkehren. deutsch.

    Commander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch will be damned if he lets anyone disturb his city's always tentative peace, and that includes a rabble-rousing dwarf from the sticks who's been stirring up trouble on the eve of the anniversary of one of Discworld's most infamous historical events. Centuries earlier, in a hellhole called Koom Valley, trolls met dwarfs in bloody combat. Though nobody's quite sure why they fought or who actually won, each species still bears the cultural scars and views the other with simmering animosity. Lately, an influential dwarf, Grag Hamcrusher, has been fomenting unrest among Ankh-Morpork's more diminutive citizens. And it doesn't help matters when the pint-size provocateur is discovered beaten to death, with a troll club lying nearby. Vimes knows the well-being of his city depends on his ability to solve the Hamcrusher homicide. But there's more than one corpse waiting for him in the vast mine network the dwarfs have been excavating beneath Ankh-Morpork's streets. A deadly puzzle is pulling Sam Vimes deep into the muck and mire of superstition, hatred, and fear, and perhaps all the way to Koom Valley itself. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Fifth Elephant (eBook, ePUB)
    Fifth book of the original and best CITY WATCH series, now reinterpreted in BBC's The Watch'Precisely balanced . . . a cracking comic thriller' The TimesThe Discworld is very much like our own - if our own were to consist of a flat planet balanced on the back of four elephants which stand on the back of a giant turtle, that is . . . 'Well, he thought, so this is diplomacy. It's lying, only for a better class of people. They say that diplomacy is a gentle art. That mastering it is a lifetime's work. But you do need a certain inclination in that direction. It's not something you can just pick up on the job. A few days ago Sam Vimes was a copper - an important copper, true - chief of police - but still, at his core, a policeman. But today he is an ambassador - to the mysterious, fat-rich country of Uberwald. Today, Sam Vimes is also a man on the run. At some point during his ambassadorship, things went very wrong. It's snowing. It's freezing. And if Vimes can't make it through the forest, with only his wits and the gloomy trousers of Uncle Vanya (don't ask), there's going to be a terrible war. There are monsters on his trail. They're bright. They're fast. They're werewolves - and they're catching up.

    Feet Of Clay (eBook, ePUB)
    Third book of the original and best CITY WATCH series, now reinterpreted in BBC's The Watch'The work of a prolific humorist at his best' Observer The Discworld is very much like our own - if our own were to consist of a flat planet balanced on the back of four elephants which stand on the back of a giant turtle, that is . . . ____________________'Sorry?' said Carrot. If it's just a thing, how can it commit murder? A sword is a thing' - he drew his own sword; it made an almost silken sound - 'and of course you can't blame a sword if someone thrust it at you, sir.' For Commander Vimes, Head of Ankh-Morpork City Watch, life consists of troubling times, linked together by...well, more troubling times. Right now, it's the latter. There's a werewolf with pre-lunar tension in the city, and a dwarf with attitude and a golem who's begun to think for itself, but that's just ordinary trouble. The real problem is more puzzling - people are being murdered, but there's no trace of anything alive having been at the crime scene. So Vimes not only has to find out whodunit, but howdunit too. He's not even sure what they dun. But soon as he knows what the questions are, he's going to want some answers.
