Some pages back. Vimes stearing a steamboat with chickens.

And ohai, Roz

OK - I've zoomed in and cropped and can now see more of the details.

Chickens! And some sort of creature sitting on Sam's shoulder. That seems to be a boat he's steering, but why the tree branches?

Here.

 

[deldaisy]

Looks like the paddle-boat (steamer? Do they have steam power?) How ARE they powering those wheels?) is going through something quiet violent ... the broken timbers.. the smashed glass....

And whats with the hourglass near the wheel? Is that as a timekeeper? Or is it a lifetimer of Death's?

 

[Tonyblack]

In Witches Abroad the paddle steamers are troll powered.

 

[madam]

this is probobly completely wrong but the flash flood with trees and boulders hefted up like papaerweights reminds me of the description of koom vally, maybe we're about to find out what happened in those months away before UA?

 

[Roz Mosis]

Thanks for the all the welcomes, sorry I didn't reply earlier... But yes, still excited about Snuff!

Ohhhh it does doesn't it.... but surely we aren't going back in time?

Perhap[s Vimes has to sort something out. Rather like Nightwatch. Ooh, and it comes out in December? Wahoo! Chrizzie list here we come!

That little lifetimer in the corner there worries me >.>

 

[meerkat]

Don;t say that Vimes is going to be 'snuffed' NOOOOO!

 

[Tonyblack]

Do you mean little lifetimer as in child-sized?

 

[meerkat]

No, even worse! Perhaps he has to resuce little Sam?

 

[Machiavelli J. Littlehorn]

Hooraay! A new guards book?
It's worth avoiding that sausage in a bun!


Corpral Nobbs is human, he has a note to prove it!

 

[deldaisy]

No, even worse! Perhaps he has to resuce little Sam?

How big are deaths life-timers supposed to be???

I think it always depends on who's life we're talking about AFAIR

 

[Roz Mosis]

Oh no... a child in danger! I'll have to read with my eyes shut- no wait...

That is called audiobook-listening, dear

Stop Press!!

At the DWCon, at the Terry and Rob bedtime stories last night, Rob read from a new book which is currently work in progress called "Snuff".
It's about goblins and starts off with Sam Vimes going away on holiday for two weeks with Sybil to their country house.

Don't know what happened to Raising Taxes.

Wow! That's HUGE!

With goblins in it, you gotta wonder if this is going to be a sequel to "UA" with Nutt and Glenda (and maybe Mightily Oats) dealing with the "lost goblin" problem.

I'll take this over "Raising Taxes" anytime!



J-I-B

I haven't read any Moist ones, but I've seen the two part special. I know what happens in Making Money, and didn't like the general plot one bit. So another Moist one with his job changing AGAIN will only make me die of unoriginality.

However, a sequel to Unseen Academicals (which had the mentioning of Mightily Oats as having saved Nutt when he went to Uberwald) would be much better than this. Also it would be nice to see if the Wizards manage to break out of the Patrician's timely orders to make them in charge of the game alike the Thieves Guild in charge of crime.

What I really want is a non-Tiffany Witches story with ALL the witches (Agnes and Magrat and Nanny) along with Granny. Where was Agnes in the last few Aching books?

Do you ever think her and Oats will meet up again? Or Oats get a main part in any future book?
