When a fire-breathing dragon is summoned to overthrow the government of Ankh-Morpork, it’s up to the city’s most unlikely defenders to save the day… or at least avoid being burned alive trying.
Captain Sam Vimes leads the Night Watch—a ragtag crew of misfits, including an idealistic six-foot-tall dwarf named Carrot—tasked with maintaining order in the most disorderly city on Discworld. But as conspiracies ignite and the dragon is declared King (yes, really), even Vimes may be out of his depth.
Guards! Guards! is Terry Pratchett at his most brilliant: razor-sharp satire, riotous worldbuilding, and heart wrapped in hilarity. The first entry in the beloved City Watch arc, it’s a perfect starting point for Discworld newcomers and a perennial favorite for longtime fans.
