Onwards on a great journey

Content warning Spoilers for Night Watch and Thud!
After the break from the present in Night Watch, Thud! returns to the present in a wonderful way, striking a newfound balance between side characters, sensibly presented politics and introspective reflections not always present in former books of the series. The addition of Sam Jr gets the stakes higher for Vimes, and once more he gets into his typical chase, but with more regard for his colleagues and family.
