Synopsis
This is one of the darker entries in the satiric Discworld fantasy series. Sam Vimes, Commander of the Ankh-MorporkWatch, is pursuing a psychopathic killer when both of them are transported back 30 years in the past, during a time of great unrest in the city. Posing as his old mentor in the Watch, Sergeant John Keel (who was murdered in this timeline), Vimes must minimize the bloodshed in a looming civil revolt, catch the killer, and ensure that his younger self, currently a rookie, becomes an honorable policeman.

Industry Reviews
"A fine place to start reading Pratchett if you don't mind a few "in" jokes, NIGHT WATCH transcends standard genre fare with its sheer schoolboy humor and characters who reject their own stereotypes."
New York Review of Books - Therese Littleton (12/15/2002)
"[B]roadly amusing and bubbling with wit and wisdom: both an excellent story and a tribute to beat cops everywhere, doing their hair-raising jobs with quiet courage and determination."
Kirkus (08/15/2002)
