Welcome to Guards! Guards!, the eighth book in Terry Pratchett’s legendary Discworld series. Long believed extinct, a superb specimen of draco nobilis ("noble dragon" for those who don't understand italics) has appeared in Discworld's greatest city. Not only does this unwelcome visitor have a nasty habit of charbroiling everything in its path, in rather short order it is crowned King (it is a noble dragon, after all...). How did it get there? How is the Unique and Supreme Lodge of the Elucidated Brethren of the Ebon Night involved? Can the Ankh-Morpork City Watch restore order – and the Patrician of Ankh-Morpork to power? Magic, mayhem, and a marauding dragon...who could ask for anything more?

Humor, with it's Sleeves Rolled-up
Sir Terry Pratchett has done it again. Another gripping Ankh-Morpork tale involving one dragon (deadly), one cop (cynical) and the usual Disc-load of satire (sizzling). If ever there was a book to raise your spirit from the depths of gloom, here it is. All in all, a brilliant continuation of the Discworld saga.
