<p><strong>Fourth </strong><strong>book of the original and best CITY WATCH series, now reinterpreted in BBC's The Watch</strong><br /><strong>'Generous, amusing and the ideal boarding point for those who have never visited Discworld' </strong><em>Sunday Telegraph</em><br /><br /><strong>The Discworld is very much like our own - if our own were to consist of a flat planet balanced on the back of four elephants which stand on the back of a giant turtle, that is . . . </strong><br /><em>_________________</em><br /><br /><em>'Neighbours... hah. People'd live for ages side by side, nodding at one another amicably on their way to work, and then some trivial thing would happen and someone would be having a garden fork removed from their ear.'</em><br /><br />When the neighbours in question are the proud empires of <strong>Klatch </strong>and <strong>Ankh-Morpork</strong>, those are going to be some pretty large garden tools indeed. Of course, no-one would dream of starting a war without a perfectly good reason...such as a 'strategic' piece of old rock in the middle of nowhere. <br /><br />It is after all every citizen's right to bear arms to defend their own. Even if it isn't <em>technically </em>their own. And even if they don't have much in the way of actual weaponry. As two armies march, <strong>Commander Vimes</strong> of Ankh-Morpork <strong>City Watch</strong> faces unpleasant foes who are out to get him... and that's just the people on his side. The enemy might be even worse.</p>
