Synopsis
Lu-Tze, a relatively minor character in several previous novels, finally comes to the fore in this 26th Discworld fantasy, which also satirizes the master-pupil relationship popularized in kung-fu movies. The Auditors of reality (a recurrent nemesis in the series) commission Jeremy Clockson to build a glass clock so accurate it can stop--and subsequently shatter--time. It's up to Death's granddaughter Susan, Lu-Tze (a Monk of History, dedicated to maintaining the fabric of time), and his curiously talented novice, Lobsang Ludd, to destroy the clock and save the universe.
