One of the many Discworld novels focusing upon the Anhk-Morpork police force, Night Watch is an interesting tale taking Sam Vimes even further out of his element than usual.
Pursuing a wanted criminal across the rooftops of the Unseen University, Vimes is caught in a magical storm and thrown into a frighteningly familiar world: His past. It’s a time of total corruption, repression and with the downtrodden on the verge of revolution. Worse still, these are not his Watch anymore; they’re as big a joke as ever and rotten to the core. As an utter non-person in the city, Vimes must try to survive and consider whether to use his knowledge to change things. Unfortunately, things are rarely so simple as that.
