Thief Of Time: Terry Pratchett

`The universe is, instant by instant, recreated anew . . . The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it.`

Time is a resource. Everyone knows it must be managed. You can let it move fast or slowly, but what you mustn`t do is allow it to stop.

On the Discworld, the History Monks have the important job of ensuring that tomorrow always comes. But the construction of the world`s first truly accurate clock starts a race against, well . . . time.

Monk Lu-Tze, his apprentice Lobsang Ludd and Death`s granddaughter Susan must stop the clockmaker before he completes his task. Because a truly accurate clock will stop time completely.

And then, there really will be no tomorrow . . .

Thief of Time is the fifth book in the Death series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.
