From Little Stack
Terry Pratchett’s City Watch (and, honestly, every other character in every other series of his) is made up exclusively of misfits and rejects. Staffed by a cynical drunk of a captain, a cowardly and lazy veteran, and a disreputable soldier who needs a certificate to prove he’s human, they’re the dregs of a very dreg-heavy city in every sense of the way.
But I loved seeing how the addition of Corporal Carrot and Sergeant Angua (and all the others) slowly picked these characters out of the mud and dusted them off until, by the end, they become something truly special: the policing force the city—and all of Discworld—needed.
Insurrection is in the air in the city of Ankh-Morpork. The Haves and Have-Nots are about to face off. Again.
It’s old news to Captain Sam Vimes of the city’s ramshackle Night Watch. But this time, something is different—the Have-Nots have found the key to a dormant, lethal weapon that even they can’t fully control, and they’re about to unleash a campaign of terror on the city.
Long believed extinct, a draco nobilis can now be seen patrolling the skies above Discworld's greatest city. Not only does this unwelcome visitor have a nasty habit of charbroiling everything in its path, but it’s also soon crowned King.
Can Vimes, Captain Carrot, and the rest of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch restore order (before it's burned to a crisp)?
