Rob Wilkins Book order (chronological)

Commander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch had it all. But now he's back in his own rough, tough past without even the clothes he was standing up in when the lightning struck... Living in the past is hard. Dying in the past is incredibly easy. But he must survive, because he has a job to do. He must track down a murderer, teach his younger self how to be a good copper and change the outcome of a bloody rebellion. There's a problem: if he wins, he's got no wife, no child, no future... A Discworld Tale of One City, with a full chorus of street urchins, ladies of negotiable affection, rebels, secret policemen, and other children of the revolution. Truth! Justice! Freedom! And a Hard-boiled Egg!

"People think that stories are shaped by people. In fact, it's the other way around." Terry Pratchett, the beloved creator of the Discworld series, was renowned for his bestselling books, sharp wit, and humanity in his advocacy work. However, there is more to his legacy. At the time of his death in 2015, he was crafting his most personal story yet—his own. This narrative follows a boy who, told by his headteacher at six that he would never succeed, dedicated his life to proving that wrong. He left school to pursue journalism, encountering the macabre and sparking ideas for his first novel before turning twenty. Celebrating his knighthood, he forged a sword, and when awarded the Carnegie Medal, he cheekily swapped it for a chocolate replica, devouring it in front of astonished librarians. Sadly, Terry ran out of time to finish the memoir he longed to write. In this authorized biography, his manager and friend Rob Wilkins, with insights from friends, family, and Terry's unpublished works, reveals the full story of an extraordinary life.

Through this candid look at his personal life, Stephen Arterburn, co-founder of New Life Clinics, shares how the world's promises seduced him, and how God's redemptive grace saved him from the emptiness and despair that marked his life.
