Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

"Be a MAN in the City Watch! The City Watch needs MEN!"

But what it's got includes Corporal Carrot (technically a dwarf), Lance-constable Cuddy (really a dwarf), Lance-constable Detritus (a troll), Lance-constable Angua (a woman... most of the time) and Corporal Nobbs (disqualified from the human race for shoving).

And they need all the help they can get. Because they've only got 24 hours to clean up the town and this is Ankh-Morpork we're talking about...

Men At Arms by Terry Pratchett offers a delightful blend of humour and fantasy. Join the misfit crew of the City Watch as they navigate the chaotic streets of Ankh-Morpork, each bringing their own unique skills and quirks to the table. Experience the wit and charm that Pratchett infuses in his depiction of a world teetering on the edge of hilarity and absurdity.
