	Encyclopedia: Thief of Time (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Thief of Time, the 26th Discworld novel written by Terry Pratchett, is much more metaphysical than most of the previous books (other than Small Gods, perhaps).
		Time is controlled by the Monks of History, an order that's been around for a long, long time.
		There are times that it drags, and unfortunately one of those times is when everybody's in the thick of the problem.

	Thief of Time - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thief of Time is the 26th Discworld novel written by Terry Pratchett.
		They do not reveal that this will imprison Time (the anthropomorphic personification) and thereby freeze time (the physical quantity) on the Discworld.
		Thief of Time features the neologism Substition (first used by Pratchett in Jingo), a term denoting the opposite of superstition.

	Four Fat Chicks -- Stealing Beauty: A Thief Retrospective
		For this reason, the violence in Thief is among the most wrenching in any first person game: it is possible to finish both without ever harming anyone, and taking a life therefore becomes an act of greater cruelty than it might in a game where violence is part of the equation.
		Thief introduced gamers to the "first person sneaker" style; it is the first major FPS that focused on stealth, caution, and planning over balls-to-the-wall action.
		Thief 2 may be a more disappointing game than the original, but it is priceless as a tool for understanding Garrett and his world.

	thief of time
		Of course, the last time I went by myself for a family wedding, so my husband was able to stay and man the fort (are we allowed to say that any more?).
		This time the kids are going to have to look out for themselves and trying to anticipate everything that’s needed, or may be needed, is driving me crazy.
		In fact, it was the first time in a few years that I wasn’t involved in the phoning around to get parents to bring things for the fund-raising dinner they always hold for the music program.

	Review - Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett
		Thief of Time comes complete with a full supporting cast of heroes and villains, yetis, martial artists and Ronnie, the fifth horseman of the Apocalypse (who left before they became famous).
		The story of the Thief is rather more intricate than some of the others; it is basically a problem once again with the Auditors, out to tidy the world of humanity.
		The monks had to rebuild time and all history, using all the sparebits left over from other periods, but the auditors want to rebuild the clock and get rid of all this pesky life for good.

	Bandido: A Thief of Time and Taste (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		He is an allegedly expert thief -- a fact that is oft repeated by all of the characters -- but in the course of the film he does not make a single surreptitious entrance or have a single successful job.
		The rest of the film has Max repeatedly breaking into Beno's complex through various means, getting discovered every time and fleeing in a barrage of bullets and explosions, with never any idea as to where the disc is. Expert thief indeed.
		Perhaps Max is not a top-notch thief so much as he has the good fortune to only rip off the perpetually stupid.

	Bank thief gets time
		Howard could not convince the court to add time based on a "threat of death." He argued that the implication that Gray had a gun in the sleeve of his sweat shirt added to the level of his crime.
		McAuliffe was equally unconvinced that Gray threatened to kill the teller, because there was never a time when Gray said he had a gun.
		McAuliffe did add time to Gray's sentence for perjury and for sentencing at the high end of the range because of the danger to his family during his commission of the robbery.

	Thief of Time, by Terry Pratchett (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Discworld has been saved in the nick of time so many times now that you might imagine it was running out of luck.
		But Terry pulls it off every time, and now that he has become a brand it can surely only be a matter of time before some crazed sub-goth fanboy elf decides to create a Discworld emulator which will push out a book every week.
		The only difference between this comic romp and the last, and the next, is a minor example of plot/character laziness by Pratchett, who creates twin heroes and their love interests, melds the twins into one, and then doesn't know what to do with the second love interest, so kills her.

		The Monks of History monitor time for the Discworld, gathering time from points in history where it is not needed and sending it out to where better use can be made of it.
		He is sent to be the apprentice of Lu-Tze, a legendary hero often mistaken for an aged and doddering sweeper.
		Thief of Time introduces a number of new characters and stands alone well, requiring little in the way of back story or Discworld knowledge.

		Take a second, and think about how true this is. For three years, we've been told [by this administration] that we are at risk of another terrorist attack.
		Dick Cheney has spouted this bullshit over and over, that there are terrorists cells in the U.S. already and that next time it won't be 1,000 dead, it'll be 100,000.

	Terry Pratchett: Thief of Time
		Although a clever idea, it was secondary to the plot of that novel and was thrown away, not to be revisited until Thief of Time, in which the monks of history are not only brought back on stage, but, in fact, given almost the entire novel.
		Thief of Time does not have as many humorous moments as many of the earlier Discworld novels.
		He is comfortable enough with the humor, his message and his style that he doesn't feel the need to put excessive humor in the book, but instead relies on the humor which he can include naturally.

		At the same time at the History Monks' monastery, Lu-Tze the Sweeper has just taken a new apprentice, Lobsang Ludd, who seems to be able to slice time very, very finely.
		In Thief of Time, the 26th Discworld novel, Terry Pratchett explores time paradoxes.
		Time, of course needs a typical Discworld tradesperson or 'professional' - in order to do the necessary for 'time' to have any meaning - or indeed for it to actually go in the right direction at all (forward).

		"Thief of Time" has been staring at me for the best of half a year, protruding from the row of books such as is my habit, ready to be read.
		In fact I think I may have missed a few of its subtleties, and the nearly arcane way in which loose ends in the end - and with a bit of a flourish - get neatly tied up and supplied with an ornamental ribbon as it were.
		"Thief of Time" boasts a cast of familiar and new characters, all of which you'll quickly love.

		The 26th instalment of the Discworld Series, Thief of Time is complex, satirical and, in places, funny.
		Three times she was called on…by the same man, of the same time.
		Yet, it was always the same man…and it was confusing – he always seemed to be in a hurry, and no time between visits seems to have passed for him.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Thief of Time
		Pratchett focuses Thief of Time on them, with subplots carried by the underused character Susan Sto Helit and her grandfather.
		In Thief of Time, however, Pratchett adds a new element, exploring the reason his horsemen went their own way as Death attempts to gather up his old comrades.
		Thief of Time proves, as do so many of Pratchett's novels, that he is writing because there are topics he wishes to address in his books, not merely to continue a highly successful franchise.

		If the Auditors could just stop time, then everything would be neat and tidy - with none of the unpredictability that mankind is famous for.

	Book Information: Thief of Time :: Internet Book List :: A database of book information and reviews
		In Discworld, Time is a resource managed by the highly capable Monks of History who store it and pump it from places where it is wasted, like underwater (how much time do fish really need?) to places, like cities, where there's never enough of it.
		And so begins a literal race against Time for the monk Lu Tze and his apprentice.
		Subtle, sly, thought-provoking, and hilarious, Thief of Time is Terry Pratchett at his best.

	Science Fiction Book Reviews
		There are a lot of "meanwhiles" in Thief of Time, which (as usual for a Discworld book) follows half a dozen different plotlines at once, and takes its own good time (so to speak) in bringing them together.
		Where he once wrote hilarious slapstick parodies of fantasy novels, he's gradually tended toward writing light fantasy with a dark edge, spicing his stories with a little humor instead of structuring his humor with a little story.
		As a result, there are few belly laughs in Thief of Time, which isn't trying to pack the comic punch of the giddier Discworld books.

		Oh, this was just no fun at all anymore, he realised, as one curse came zipping up behind him, then across his shoulder - tearing a nice strip of his tunic away in the process - and then purposely hitting a twig so that it showered his face in an elaborate cloud of natural sawdust.
		But, at the time, he merely thanked Merlin's White Beard, finally took out his wand from the back pocket of his jeans and prepared to transfigure a hefty stone he'd spotted not two inches from his right foot.

		Everybody wants more time, which is why on Discworld only the experts can manage it -- the venerable Monks of History who store it and pump it from where it's wasted, like underwater (how much time does a codfish really need?), to places like cities, where busy denizens lament, "Oh where does the time go?"
		Well, stop time that is, by building the world's first truly accurate clock.
		Which means esteemed History Monk Lu-Tze and his apprentice Lobsang Ludd have to put on some speed to stop the timepiece before it starts.
