Men At Arms

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

Men At Arms is the fifteenth Discworld novel and the second in the City Watch series, revamped with a fresh bold look targeting a new generation of fantasy fans.

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

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