‘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-Morpork’s Night Watch.
New recruits have been hired to reflect the city’s 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).
What’s 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 …
‘Funny, wise and mock heroic . . . the best-crafted book I have read all year’ Sunday Express

Welcome to Discworld
Meet Commander Sam Vimes and the City Watch
Sam Vimes is an old-fashioned copper. He, and the City Watch he commands, started in the gutter (one outside a pub), and Vimes takes care not to forget it, wearing extra thin boots so he can feel the streets of his city as he proceeds along them, cigar in hand, gimlet eyes peeled not just for crime, which being extremely cynical he suspects everyone of, but also injustice, which makes him very angry.
The Discworld books can be read in any order, but this is a particularly good place to start.

“So this is diplomacy. It’s lying, only for a better class of people.” “Don’t put your trust in revolutions. They always come round again. That’s why they’re called revolutions.” If Vimes doesn’t solve the murder of one dwarf, it’s war. Vimes is on holiday. So of course, being a policeman, he finds a corpse on day one.
