TERRY PRATCHETT DISCWORLD NOVELS FROM WHITE DWARF BOOKS

The acclaimed Science of Discworld centred around an original Pratchett story about the Wizards of Discworld. In it they accidentally witnessed the creation and evolution of our universe, a plot which was interleaved with a Cohen & Stewart non-fiction narrative about Big Science. In The Science of Discworld II our authors join forces again to see just what happens when the wizards meddle with history in a battle against the elves for the future of humanity on Earth. London is replaced by a dozy Neanderthal village. The Renaissance is given a push. The role of fat women in art is developed. And one very famous playwright gets born and writes The Play.

When a wizardly experiment goes adrift, the wizards of Unseen University find themselves with a pocket universe on their hands: Roundworld, where neither magic nor common sense seems to stand a chance against logic. Roundworld is, of course, our own universe. With us inside it (eventually). Guided (if that's the word) by the wizards, we follow its story from the primal singularity of the Big Bang to the Internet and beyond.

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 the places where it's wasted (like underwater - how much time does a codfish need?) to places like cities where there's never enough time.

But the construction of the world's first truly accurate clock starts a race against, well, time for Lu Tze and his apprentice Lobsang Ludd. Because it will stop time. And that will only be the start of everyone's problems.

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).

It's the night before Hogswatch, the great Discworld winter festival. But it's all gone wrong. The stockings the kids have hung up are all empty.

And, just for tonight, he's got to be Mr. Nice Guy.

A new land surfaces, and Discworld goes to war, with armies of sardines, warriors, fishermen, squid, and at least one very camp follower.

This is the Discworld's last continent, a completely separate creation. It's hot. It's dry...very dry. There was this thing once called the Wet, which no one now believes in. Practically everything that's not poisonous is venomous. But it's the best bloody place in the world, all right?

Mightily Oaks has not picked a good time to be a priest. He thought he'd come to the mountain kingdom of Lancre for a simple little religious ceremony.

There are the witches--young Agnes, who is really in two minds about everything, Margat, who is trying to combine witchcraft and nappies, Nanny Ogg, who is far too knowing...and Granny Weatherwax, who is big trouble. Mightily Oaks knows he has a prayer, but wishes he had an axe.

Sam Vimes is a man on the run. Yesterday he was a duke, a chief of police and ambassador to the mysterious, fat-rich country of Uberwald.
