Thief of Time (Pratchett, Terry) (2001) Terry Pratchett (Author)
In Discworld, time can be handled like any other commodity. An order of monks has the job of taking time from where it's not needed and moving it to places where it is. Then someone invents the first perfectly accurate clock, and by its very existence it endangers the fabric of time itself. Only the loyal monks can act to save the day, but can they do so in time?
