Description: Men at Arms by Terry Pratchett "Discworld: a City Watch Novel."--Page one of cover. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description "Unadulterated fun."--San Francisco ChronicleThe fate of Ankh-Morpork rests on the unlikely shoulders of newly promoted Corporal Carrot and his hapless charges in the City Watch in this wildly wacky Discworld novel from the legendary New York Times bestselling author Terry Pratchett.Corporal Carrot is now in charge of the new recruits guarding Ankh-Morpork from barbarian rribes, miscellaneous marauders, unlicensed thieves, and other dangerous Discworld denizens. Its a big job for an adopted dwarf keeping the likes of young coppers Lance-constable Cuddy (really a dwarf), Lance-constable Detritus (a troll), Lance-constable Angua (a woman. . . most of the time) and Corporal Nobbs (disqualified from the human race for shoving) in line.Especially since someone in Ankh-Morpork has been getting dangerous ideas about crowns and legendary swords, and destiny--which points its crooked finger again when an ancient document reveals that Ankh-Morpork has a secret sovereign.Whats 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.Its the beginning of the most awesome epic encounter of all time (or at least all afternoon), in which the fate of a city--indeed of the universe itself!--depends on a young mans courage, an ancient swords magic, and a three-legged poodles bladder.The Discworld novels can be read in any order but Men at Arms is the 2nd in the City Watch collection and the 15th Discworld book.The City Watch series in order: Guards!

In all, he authored more than fifty bestselling books, which have sold more than one hundred million copies worldwide. His novels have been widely adapted for stage and screen, and he was the winner of multiple prizes, including the Carnegie Medal. He was awarded a knighthood by Queen Elizabeth II for his services to literature in 2009, although he always wryly maintained that his greatest service to literature was to avoid writing any. Review "[An] always entertaining. . . hysterically funny series." -- Kirkus Reviews"Pratchett skewers the hard-boiled detective novel as effectively as hes satired fantasy fiction all these years. . . . The dialogue is hilarious, and Pratchetts take on affirmative action is a whole lot of fun. . . . As usual, Pratchett provides enough bad-tempered clowns, bloodthirsty trolls and dogs with low self-esteem to keep readers entertained." -- Publishers Weekly Details ISBN0063373750 Author Terry Pratchett Series City Watch Year 2024 ISBN-13 9780063373754 Format Paperback Publication Date 2024-07-30 Subtitle A Discworld Novel Series Number 2 Audience General Publisher HarperCollins Publishers Inc Imprint Collins Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States US Release Date 2024-07-30 DEWEY 823.914 Language English ISBN-10 0063373750 UK Release Date 2024-07-30 Pages 400 Imprint US Harper Paperbacks Publisher US HarperCollins We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
