Discover the gloriously inventive and funny fantasy novel from bestselling author Terry Pratchett, the first book in the City Watch series, part of the Discworld novels.
'This is one of Pratchett's best books. Hilarious and highly recommended' The Times
'Possibly the funniest book ever written' 5-star reader review
'Noble dragons don't have friends. The nearest they can get to the idea is an enemy who is still alive.'
The city of Ankh-Morpork is in turmoil, its citizens revolting. Again.
A shadowy secret brotherhood has summoned a dragon to spread terror throughout the city, intent on overthrowing the Patrician and ruling in his place. Too bad the dragon has ideas of its own ...
It's up to Captain Sam Vimes and the ramshackle Night Watch to stop it. Only problem is, the Watch are more used to dealing with mobs than dragons.
And if they can't bring down this fire-breathing tyrant and reinstate their own, slightly less dangerous one, Ankh-Morpork might be lost. For ever...
Guards! Guards! is the first book in the City Watch series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.

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

My favorite Discworld novel
Ankh-Morpork is under siege from a dragon, while the City Watch welcomes what may be the Disc's greatest dwarf into its ranks. The result is a delightfully chaotic and hilarious adventure packed novel with wit, charm, and nonstop fun. Terry Pratchett truly was a master storyteller.
