'The literary equivalent of a security blanket' Patrick Rothfuss,
New York Times bestselling author of The Name of the Wind 'This is
one of Pratchett's best books. Hilarious and highly recommended'
The Times This is where the dragons went. They lie... not dead, not
asleep, but... dormant. And although the space they occupy isn't
like normal space, nevertheless they are packed in tightly. They
could put you in mind of a can of sardines, if you thought sardines

GUARDS! GUARDS! is the 8th Discworld novel - and after this,
dragons will never be the same again! Readers adore Guards! Guards!
'You will enjoy it if you already enjoy fantasy; you will very
likely enjoy it even if you don't generally enjoy fantasy, because
the humour, characterisation, and dialogue are ridiculously good'
Goodreads reviewer, 'This is one of my favorite Discworld books and
one of the best starting points for the Discworld newbies . . . It
is a perfect introduction to the world of intelligent humour
peppered with allusions to almost everything you can think of and
smart conclusions that make you think and even ask the
uncomfortable questions of yourself and the society' Goodreads
reviewer, 'I love all the tropes and the way Pratchett deals with
them. The whole novel is tongue-in-cheek and it's a slight bit more
delightful (IMHO) than all the rest of the novels that came before
it. Indeed, it's this one that sets the tone for all the rest'
