Summary
Details

The complete text.

The play script adaptation of the classic fantasy novel by Terry Pratchett, the second book in the City Watch series, part of the Discworld novels.

'Funny, wise and mock heroic . . . the best-crafted book I have read all year' Sunday Express

'Pratchett at his best' 5-star reader review

'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 ...

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

Praise for the Discworld series-

spectacular inventiveness makes the Discworld series one of the perennial joys of modern fiction' Mail on Sunday

'Pratchett is a master storyteller' Guardian

'One of our greatest fantasists, and beyond a doubt the funniest' George R.R. Martin

'One of those rare writers who appeals to everyone' Daily Express

'One of the most consistently funny writers around' Ben Aaronovitch

'Masterful and brilliant' Fantasy & Science Fiction

'Pratchett uses his other world to hold up a distorting mirror to our own... he is a satirist of enormous talent ... incredibly funny ... compulsively readable' The Times

'The best humorous English author since P.G. Wodehouse' The Sunday Telegraph

'Nothing short of magical' Chicago Tribune

'Consistently funny, consistently clever and consistently surprising in its twists and turns' SFX

compulsively readable, fantastically inventive, surprisingly serious exploration in story form of just about any aspect of our world...
