BL: Thud!
Terry Pratchett, Thud!
Harper Collins (2005) ISBN-10: 0-06-081522-1
ISBN-13: 978-0-06-81522-6 (I guess they're running low on numbers...)
Score: 5
Another Discworld novel (#30 maybe?) in the City Watch sub-series, so it'd be good to read Guards! Guards!, Men at Arms, and Fifth Elephant first to introduce significant watchmen and dwarf politics. Because it's that time of year again, time to remember the Battle of Koom Valley. A good, solid Discworld book full of murder, politics, racism, naked women, etc. Also features a picture book Where's My Cow? (to be published separately), and eventually reveals the truth about the original Battle of Koom Valley. I liked it a little less than Going Postal and a little better than Night Watch, and I would have liked it better without the supernatural villain (since there were sufficient mundane ones (I had the same complaint about Amazing Maurice)); but I don't regret pre-ordering it in hardcover.
