Rob Wilkins Volgorde van de boeken (chronologisch)

Douwe Flinx – ooit zelf Kapitein van de Nachtwacht – belandt in zijn ruige, norse verleden. In het verleden leven is lastig. Sterven in het verleden is een makkie. Toch moet hij er een moordenaar opsporen en een opstand bedwingen. En als hij wint, verliest hij alles... Berooid belt hij aan zijn eigen deur, maar er doet een wildvreemde butler open en de jongedame die daar woont (en die hem bekend voorkomt) weet ook al niet wie hij is. Alleen helemaal onderaan de ladder krijgt hij grond aan de voeten. Bij een nog prille Roosje de Koffer bijvoorbeeld. En dan is daar telkens die geheimzinnige straatveger – die schijnt er meer van te weten.

"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 In this authorized biography, his manager and friend Rob Wilkins, with insights from friends, family, and Terry's unpublished works, reveals the full story of an extraordinary life.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.
