Thief Of Time: (Discworld Novel 26)

The only hope lies with a young clockmaker named Jeremy, who is unwittingly drawn into the plot, and the eccentric martial arts master, Lu-Tze, a sweeper from the History Monks. Together with his apprentice, Lobsang, they must race against the clock to prevent the end of all time, facing philosophical questions about the nature of existence, the value of mortality, and the importance of living in the moment. more
