Summary

This morning, Commander Vimes of the City Watch had it all. He was a Duke. He was rich. He was respected. He was about to become a father. This morning, he thought longingly about the good old days. Tonight, he's in them. Flung back in time by a mysterious accident, Sam Vimes has to start all over again. He must get a new name and a job, and there's only one job he's good at: cop in the Watch. He must find his younger self and teach him everything he knows. He must whip the Night Watch into a crack fighting force--fast. Because Sam Vimes knows what's going to happen. He remembers it. He was there. It's part of history. Now Sam is going to risk the only future he knows to try and change the past. If he succeeds, he's got no wife, no child, no riches, no fame--all that will simply vanish. But if he fails, good men will die, and if he doesn't try, he wouldn't be Sam Vimes
