  1. Book Review: Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett


    Author: Terry Pratchett
    Title: Guards! Guards!
    Publication Info: Gollancz, 1989
    Summary/Review:

    In the first installment of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch series of Discworld novels, the tall human raised by dwarfs Carrot joins as a new recruit.  Carrot is very literal and by the book, but his arrival brings a new sense of idealism to the corrupted Night Watch lead by Sam Vimes.  At this time a secret monastic order is plotting to overthrow the Patrician who governs Ankh-Morpork by summoning a dragon and then have their puppet slay the dragon and become king.  Things go awry when the dragon burns down wide swathes of the city and declares itself king instead.  In this hilarious and clever story, the Night Watch – and their tiny dragon mascot Erroll – have to summon the heroism to save the city.

    Rating: ****
