Resumen del Editor
Time is a resource. Everyone knows it has to be managed. On Discworld that is the job of the highly capable 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 the monk Lu Tze and his apprentice Lobsang Ludd. For if the perfect clock starts ticking, Time, as we know it, will stop. And then the trouble will really begin.
Subtle, sly, thought-provoking, and hilarious, Thief of Time is Terry Pratchett at his best.
This multi-voice production features Christopher Cazenove, Gabrielle de Cuir, Karesa McElheny, John Rubinstein, and Stefan Rudnicki, with a guest appearance by Harlan Ellison.

Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a parallel time and place that might sound and smell very much like our own, but which looks completely different. Particularly as it’s carried though space on the back of a giant turtle (sex unknown). It plays by different rules. But then, some things are the same everywhere. The Disc’s very existence is about to be threatened by a strange new blight: the world’s first tourist, upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land.

Hot on the heels of Gardner Dozois's acclaimed anthology The Book of Swords comes this companion volume devoted to magic. How could it be otherwise? For every Frodo, there is a Gandalf... and a Saruman. For every Dorothy, a Glinda... and a Wicked Witch of the West. What would Harry Potter be without Albus Dumbledore... and Severus Snape? Figures of wisdom and power, possessing arcane, often forbidden knowledge, wizards and sorcerers are shaped - or misshaped - by the potent magic they seek to wield.

Joe Spork repairs clocks, a far cry from his late father, a flashy London gangster. But when Joe fixes one particularly unusual device, his life is suddenly upended. Joe's client, Edie Banister, is more than just a kindly old lady - she's a former superspy. And the device? It's a 1950s doomsday machine. And having triggered it, Joe now faces the wrath of both the government and a diabolical South Asian dictator, Edie's old arch-nemesis.

Things have been going pretty badly for Theo Bernstein. An unfortunate accident at work has lost him his job (and his work involved a Very Very Large Hadron Collider, so he's unlikely to get it back). His wife has left him. And he doesn't have any money. Before Theo has time to fully appreciate the pointlessness of his own miserable existence, news arrives that his good friend, a renowned physicist and Nobel laureate, has died. By leaving the apparently worthless contents of his safety deposit box to Theo, however, the professor has set him on a quest of epic proportions.

Historia
For nearly a century, Victorian London relied on “climbing boys” - orphans owned by chimney sweeps - to clean flues and protect homes from fire. The work was hard, thankless, and brutally dangerous. Eleven-year-old Nan Sparrow is quite possibly the best climber who ever lived - and a girl. But when Nan gets stuck in a deadly chimney fire, she fears her time has come. Instead, she wakes to find herself in an abandoned attic. And she is not alone. Huddled in the corner is a mysterious creature - a golem - made from ash and coal. This is the creature that saved her from the fire.

Mad scientists have never had it so tough. In super-hero comics, graphic novels, films, TV series, video games, and even works of what may be fiction, they are besieged by those who stand against them, devoid of sympathy for their irrational, megalomaniacal impulses to rule, destroy, or otherwise dominate the world as we know it. It’s just not fair. So those of us who are so twisted and sick that we love mad scientists have created this guide.

But the castle desperately needs a master, or else the Board of Magic will decommission it, leaving all the minions without the home they love.

My perfect introduction to the Discworld
Year ago, I had the perfect introduction to the joy's Terry Pratchett's unique vision when I checked out this very audiobook from my local library... and I'll forever be grateful to the author, and cast for truly wonderful performances.
I saw in another review the cry to stop changing narrator's. This strikes me as ignorant as people who complain about the bars on the top and bottom of wide-screen movies.
To shift the narrators as you shift perspective is brilliant. The third person limited narrator is a wonderful tool, and you should read Orson Scott Card's work entitled Character and Viewpoint before you start throwing stones at this masterful manifestation of the tool.
Everything about the performances and brilliance of these actors is to be praised.
Stefan Rudnicki will forever be the perfect voice of Death in my mind and no one can deliver narration with a combination of menace and mischief like Harlan Ellison.
In short, this book is one of my favorites and when I finally made the jump to Audible, I knew I had to buy it and the rest of Pratchett as soon as possible, which I did during the 2004 12 credits for $100 sale.

Multiple Narrators Give Story a Different Slant
First off, this is one of my favorite Discworld novels. Which is hard to say since I love almost all of them. As to the audiobook itself, unlike many others, I enjoyed the multiple narrators for the most part. What may have confused some is that they don't read specific parts; rather they switch off reading whole sections. And while one narrator might voice one character slightly differently than another narrator, they all did quite a good job. It would be nice if Audible also had the ISIS version but there is still something about this version that has brought me back to it more than once.

Great book!!
I love Terry Pratchett's books and love to listen to them. Unfortunately, whoever edited the audio on this book didn't know what they were doing! Most of the words at the end of a sentence have the last sound cut off, making it very hard to understand the sentence. It is such a shame that such poor audio editing was done to one of the best writers of our century!

A great story, not so great performance.
I had a very hard time with the way this book was presented. Death was flat and lack luster. The hardest one to wrap my mind around was Nanny Ogg turned into a Dolly Partonesq character was a bit ill fitting and hard to listen to. Normally I listen to Pratchett books straight through
this was finished between several parts in between other books.

voices change
Maybe it's just me, but I'm not used to audio books with multiple actors unless it's a full cast production, which this is not. The actors switching back and forth is not necessarily a problem, but I feel like people should know about it. High marks all around.

Absolutely a delight
I will be recommending this book to everyone. The naration was by far the best of any book I have listened to. The story is enthralling, witty, clever,... I could run on with superlatives but I will just leave it at this. I will be listening to every thing Pratchett puts out. I can only hope that the naration and stories are as good as this one. From the reviews I have seen, I will not be dissapointed.

Not a fan of the new recordings,
I enjoy the original production.

Sound effects disability issue
Love this book.
Performance of voice actors good.
Sound effects are VERY annoying.
Part of why I listen to audiobooks is because I’m disabled (including neurological issues) and reading is now very hard. My brain can’t handle sound effects and music over talking and I have to skip those parts.
