In the city of Ankh Morpork, crime statistics have been lowered with one simple trick: Make crime legal! Just stay within the quota, the Night Watch will even keep the doors unlocked.
The patrician’s right-hand man, Lupine Wonse, longs to take control in the chaos. He has one goal: summon a dragon and bring forth an age of kings.
After all, while kings may be good at slaying dragons, they will need help to… let's just say… guide them.
It's a perfect plan - until a fresh-faced recruit to the Night Watch comes asking about a missing spell book. He’s hell-bent on following the law; even if it leads down a path of ex-wizards-now-orangutans, colleagues whose brain cells have been drawn on with crayon, and suspiciously dragon shaped footprints.
Guards! Guards! is the 8th book set in Terry Pratchett’s discword but it is considered by many, including NPR, to be the best entry point into the series.
