David Lloyd Bücher

In V FOR VENDETTA schildern Alan Moore und David Lloyd auf über 280 Seiten ein faschistisches England, in dem sich einige Jahre nach einem atomaren Krieg ein totalitäres Regime etabliert hat. Als die junge Evey von mehreren Männern vergewaltigt wird, rettet sie der geheimnisvolle, maskierte V und bringt sie in sein Versteck im Untergrund. Von dort steuert er seine gezielten terroristischen Aktionen, mit denen er dem System Sand ins Getriebe streut. Als V zwei Sehenswürdigkeiten sprengt und die Radiostation unter seine Kontrolle bringt, geht sein Plan von einer Revolution auf. Gleichzeitig entdeckt Evey seinen Hintergrund und erkennt, welche Rolle sie in den Plänen ihres Retters spielt.

Um einer langweiligen Gedenkveranstaltung der Stadtwache zu entkommen, greift Sir Samuel Vimes zu allen möglichen Mitteln, sogar dazu, einem Verbrecher nachzujagen, der Offizieren nach dem Leben trachtet. Zufällig gerät er auf dem Dach der Unsichtbaren Universität in einen Zeitsturm und wird drei Jahrzehnte in die Vergangenheit geschleudert. Dort herrscht ein wahnsinniger Tyrann, und die Stadtwache ist nur noch Handlanger der blutrünstigen Geheimpolizei. Vimes beschließt, diesem Spuk ein Ende zu setzen, doch zunächst muss er das Vertrauen seines jüngeren Ichs gewinnen und ihm die Grundlagen von Ehre und Polizeiarbeit beibringen. Als ein Aufstand ausbricht, gelingt es ihm, die Stadtwache als ehrliche und effektive Einheit zu etablieren. Jetzt bleibt nur noch die Rückkehr in seine eigene Zeit. Nach den etwas schwächeren Romanen "Die volle Wahrheit" und "Der Zeitdieb" zeigt Terry Pratchett mit diesem Werk wieder große Form. Langjährige Fans der Scheibenwelt werden sich freuen, viele bekannte Figuren in jüngerer Gestalt zu sehen. Die teilweise ernste Grundstimmung verleiht dem Roman zusätzlich Überzeugungskraft. Besonders gelungen ist der Umschlag, der Rembrandts "Nachtwache" parodistisch von Paul Kidby neu interpretiert.
