For anyone who has never read a Pratchett book, this is a great book to start the series with. However, it's not the first Guards book, so I'll have to hunt Guards! Guards! down and read it. |

Contents include: one very black criminal soul, more than a few trolls, a dwarf bread museum, affirmative action for women and werewolves, exploding dragons, and a heavy dose of reverse psychology. ”
1 of 1 members found this review helpful“Taking place after the events of Guards! Guards!, Sam Vimes and the Night Watch now face the Discworld's first gun. Vetinari, the Patrician (read: tyrant) of Ankh-Morpork, decides that the Watch requires more ethnic minorities, and the Watch begins to expand. Among the newcomers are Delphine Angua von Uberwald (just call her Angua), who happens to be a werewolf, and a favorite returner from Guards! Guards!, Detritus the troll. With a series of mysterious assassinations spreading across the city and Vimes nearing retirement, things look bleak once again.

This book is vital for the development of the Watch for the later books, but it's not really the one I pick up off the shelf when I want my favorite book. Whatever. You decide.”
