Night Watch
by Terry Pratchett
Commander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch had it all. Now, hurled back into his gritty past by a freak lightning strike, he's got nothing but the clothes off his back. Surviving the past is a brutal game, but Vimes has a mission: hunt a killer, mentor his younger self, and avert a bloody uprising. Succeed, and he risks erasing his wife, his child, his entire future. A Discworld story of one city, teeming with street kids, revolutionaries, and the long arm of the law. Truth! Justice! Freedom! And a hard-boiled egg!

by Terry Pratchett
Time: everyone knows it's precious. On Discworld, the Monks of History manage it, siphoning it from time-rich zones (like the ocean floor – what's a codfish doing with it all?) to bustling cities where time's always short. But when the world's first truly accurate clock is built, Lu Tze and apprentice Lobsang Ludd face a frantic race against time itself. This clock will *stop* time. And that's just the beginning. "Thief of Time" is packed with heroes, villains, yetis, martial artists, and Ronnie, the fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse (who quit before the band got big).

by Terry Pratchett
According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (the world's only completely reliable guide to the future), the world will end next Saturday, shortly after tea. Humans have been predicting the apocalypse since the dawn of time, so skepticism is understandable. But this time, the forces of Good and Evil are indeed gathering. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are saddling up. A fast-living demon and a fussy angel would actually prefer the Rapture *not* to happen. Oh, and someone appears to have misplaced the Antichrist...

by Douglas Adams
Just moments before Earth is bulldozed to clear space for a hyperspace bypass, Arthur Dent is rescued by his friend Ford Prefect, a field researcher for the latest edition of *The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy* masquerading as an unemployed actor for the last fifteen years. Their cosmic adventure begins, guided by wisdom from the *Guide* itself ('A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have') and a motley crew of fellow travelers: Zaphod Beeblebrox, the two-headed, three-armed, ex-hippie President of the Galaxy; Trillian (formerly Tricia McMillan), who Arthur once failed to impress at a party; Marvin, the chronically depressed robot; and Veet Voojagig, obsessed with missing ballpoint pens. What's the meaning of life, the universe, and everything? Grab your towel and hitch a ride to find out!
