26: Thief of Time

Disc Coverers

TICK TOCK, DISCERATI... It's DISC COVERERS time again, and on this episode we're covering 2001's THIEF OF TIME! The Auditors are back on their bullshit again. They want to shatter time itself, and one of their number walks among the humans of the disc in mortal form. Only veteran History Monk sweeper Lu-Tze and his peculiarly gifted sidekick Lobsang-- plus special returning gal we love to see, Susan Sto Helit-- can avert this reality-shredding catastrophe! Is this the least Discworld-like Discworld book? (Maybe!) Are all the kung fu moves and time slicing shenanigans in this book a result of The Matrix being really popular around the time it was published? (Probably!) Most importantly, WHY isn't there more fanfiction and art that pair up Susan and Unity? (I DON'T KNOW AND THEY'RE THE ONLY OTP THAT MATTERS TO ME NOW. IF YOU MAKE SOME, SEND IT TO US.) It's about TIME you started listening!
