"As traumatic as it is to only choose one Pratchett, this first entry in his Guards sub-series encompasses everything that is brilliant about his writing: terrific characterization and plotting, a completely believable world, and new details that come up with each re-reading. . . . The story of dwarves, dragons and good police work remains fresh, sharp, and incredibly funny." — Telegraph (UK)

Magic, mayhem, and a marauding dragon combine for extraordinary fun in this brilliant Discworld novel from New YorkTimes bestselling author Terry Pratchett.

Insurrection is in the air in the city of Ankh-Morpork. The Haves and Have-Nots are about to face off. Again.

It's old news to Captain Sam Vimes of the city's ramshackle Night Watch. But this time, something is different—the Have-Nots have found the key to a dormant, lethal weapon that even they can't fully control, and they're about to unleash a campaign of terrоr on the city.

Long believed extinct, a draco nobilis can now be seen patrolling the skies above Discworld's greatest city. Not only does this unwelcome visitor have a nasty habit of charbroiling everything in its path, but it's also soon crowned King.

Can Vimes, Captain Carrot, and the rest of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch restore order (before it's burned to a crisp)?

The Discworld novels can be read in any order but Guards! Guards! is the first book in the City Watch collection.

The City Watch collection in order:
  • Guards! Guards!
  • Men at Arms
  • Feet of Clay
  • Jingo
  • The Fifth Elephant
  • Night Watch
  • Thud!
  • Snuff

Great sale on some genuinely funny books. Thief of Time was my first Pratchett book, and still my favorite.

The first few books in this series are genuinely funny and well written, especially the audiobook version. The narrator is brilliant. But as it drags on, one can tell the author is milking it for all its worth: every former minor characters got their own series and each became more than they were before. It gets repetitive. I soon lost interest.

...for example?

The best books of the series are in the mid-to-late period (particularly Night Watch).

The Discworld series is very funny, altough some books are great and other only good. Witches Abroad is one of the best.

Book 2: The Light Fantastic is probably the weaker of all and the reader needs to have read Book 1.

The Long Earth series is different.
