			{{TFE}} is the twenty-fourth Discworld book, and the fifth novel about the [[The Watch\|the Ankh-Morpork City Watch]]. It begins a tradition of the Watch books focussing more on Vimes than on the Watch as a whole, though notably in this book [[Carrot]] and [[Angua]] have a major subplot. It continues an exploration of Überwald that began in {{CJ}}, this time with werewolves rather than vampires, and also explores more of dwarf culture.

			''‘Well, he thought, so this is diplomacy. It's lying, only for a better class of people.’''

			Commander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch is a long way from home.

			Sent as reluctant ambassador to Uberwald, a mysterious region inhabited by dwarfs, vampires and werewolves, Vimes must learn the art of diplomacy. Fast.

			But when he uncovers a mystery with ties back home, the policeman in him can't help but investigate. What could possibly go wrong?

			Well, quite a lot actually. Vimes finds himself on the run through the frozen forests of Uberwald, armed with only his wits and the trousers of Uncle Vanya (don't ask). And if he doesn't make it, there's going to be a terrible war.

			But there are monsters on his trail. They're smart. They're fast. They're werewolves.

			And they're catching up...
