I always love reading through the little teasers on the back of books. Somehow they seem to capture the essence and personality of the book beautifully. It's a strange career to imagine, though, writing book teasers...

Here's what the teaser at the back of Thief of Time says-

Time is a resource. Everyone knows it has to be managed. And on Discworld that is the job of the Monks of History, who store it and pump it from places where it's wasted (like underwater - how much time does a codfish need?) to places like cities where there's never enough time.

Thief of Time comes complete with a full supporting cast of heroes and villains, yetis, martial artists and Ronnie, the fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse (who left before they became famous).


I'm loving it!
