This makes Vimes quite dispirited.Īnd then, of course, there was himself. With thieves guild and Assassin guild officially recognised the City Watch has no real job. Now the City Watch must rise to the occasion and save the city.

Then with a bloodless coup the ruler of the city is changed. But soon things change as a dragon lands in the city. It starts as a pointless organisation full of drunk and frustrated staffs.

I have read few books related to Ankh-Morpork Watch. “Guards! Guards!” is the first book in the Watch series. Present book’s theme is the City Watch or police department of Ankh-Morpork. The books are set in different parts of Discworld with different set of characters and different subjects. “Guards! Guards!” is the 8 th book in the series and was published for the first time in 1989. “Guards! Guards!” is the 13 th book of Discworld series for me.ĭiscworld Serial Number Based on Publishing Date In this world different humanoid species live together, bu t not necessarily peacefully.
