Whenever long bloody feud between dwarfs and trolls heats up the cry, “Koom Valley”, springs up just before both sides decide to fight the next one but now it looks like it’s in Ankh-Morpork but not on Sam Vimes watch. Thud! is the 34th installment of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series and seventh ...
Thud! is the seventh book in the Watch subseries of Discworld. Tensions have always been high between the dwarves and the trolls. Now a dwarf has been murdered in Ankh-Morpork, and it looks like a troll might have been responsible. As with the previous Watch book, it focuses heavily on Vimes, b...
A terrific novel. It’s part of the City Watch sub-series, and of course, Sam Vimes, the commander of Ankh-Morpork City Watch, is the protagonist. In this novel, he faces a serious crisis.

This installment of the serie...
Interesting book. A guards story where you learn more about Vimes' family than most other things. Historically the Trolls and the Dwarves have faught particularly on the anniversary of a historical battle, this looks at what happens when they try to take it onto the streets of Ankh-Morkpork. A nu...
The first of the Sam Vimes stories I've read. It was enjoyable overall, but I'm thinking I should have started at the beginning with Guards! Guards! to get a better feel for the city watch characters.
