Pratchett . . . has a satirist's instinct for the absurd and a cartoonist's eye for the telling detail."

The purely funniest English writer since Wodehouse.

Sam Vimes, watch commander of Ankh-Morpork, is at long last taking a much-needed (and well deserved) vacation. But, of course, this is Discworld, where nothing goes as plannedand before Vimes can even change his cardboard-soled boots for vacationers slippers, the gruff watch commander soon finds himself enmeshed in a fresh fiasco fraught with magic, cunning, daring, and (for the reader more than for poor Vimes) endless hilarity. Did he really expect time off? As Vimes himself says in Feet of Clay, theres some magical creature called overtime, only no ones even seen its footprints. Following the New York Times bestselling Unseen Academichals, Terry Pratchett delivers an enthralling new tale from a place of insuperable adventure: Discworld.
