‘Pratchett at his best’ 5-star reader review

People ought to think for themselves ... The problem is, people only think for themselves if you tell them to.

Times are a-changing in Ankh-Morporks Night Watch.

New recruits have been hired to reflect the citys diversity, including Corporal Carrot (technically a dwarf), Lance-constable Cuddy (really a dwarf), Lance-constable Detritus (a troll), and Lance-constable Angua (a woman ... full moons aside).

Whats more, Captain Sam Vimes is getting married and retiring from the Watch. For good. Which is a shame, because no one knows the streets of Ankh-Morpork or its criminal underworld better than him.

And someone armed and dangerous has been getting ideas about power and destiny and lost kings, committing a string of seemingly random murders across the city.

The new recruits will need to learn fast ...

Men At Arms is the second book in the City Watch series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.
