Night Watch is the 29th novel in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. The protagonist of the novel is Sir Samuel Vimes, commander of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch. This is the first main-sequence Discworld novel not to have a cover by Josh Kirby. Kidby pays tribute to the late artist by placing him in the picture, in the position where Rembrandt is said to have painted himself. The actual painting by Rembrandt is used as the back cover illustration. Night Watch placed second in the annual Locus Poll for best fantasy novel.
