Publisher Description
Brought to you by Penguin.
'It was the usual Ankh-Morpork mob in times of crisis; half of them were here to complain, a quarter of them were here to watch the other half, and the remainder were here to rob, importune or sell hotdogs to the rest.'
Insurrection is in the air in the city of Ankh-Morpork. The Haves and Have-Nots are about to fall out all over again.
Captain Sam Vimes of the city's ramshackle Night Watch is used to this. It's enough to drive a man to drink. Well, to drink more. But this time, something is different - the Have-Nots have found the key to a dormant, lethal weapon that even they don't fully understand, and they're about to unleash a campaign of terror on the city.
Time for Captain Vimes to sober up.
The Discworld novels can be read in any order but Guards! Guards! is the first book in the City Watch series.

It’s a million to one chance-but it might just work!!
Love TP. Love John Culshaw’s reading. Must admit I try and figure out whose voice his using as inspiration for the characters and I swear Vimes is Sean Bean! Classic! I can picture the characters so much better imagining what actor they could be!
Fantastic
The city watch series has always been my favourite of the series, and Jon Culshaw’s take on all the characters is absolutely spot on how I pictured them. Can’t wait to start men at arms tonight!
Excellent new version
Jon Culshaw’s characterisation brings new life to Pratchett’s City Watch. Sam Vimes as played by Sean Bean is a particular pleasure!
