It's old news to Captain Sam Vimes of the city's ramshackle Night Watch. But this time, something is different-the Have-Nots have found the key to a dormant, lethal weapon that even they can't fully control, and they're about to unleash a campaign of terror on the city. Long believed extinct, a draco nobilis can now be seen patrolling the skies above Discworld's greatest city. Not only does this unwelcome visitor have a nasty habit of charbroiling everything in its path, but it's also soon crowned King. Can Vimes, Captain Carrot, and the rest of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch restore order (before it's burned to a crisp)? The Discworld novels can be read in any order but Guards! Guards! is the 1st book in the City Watch collection and the 8th Discworld book"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S172C823459</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S172C823459</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pratchett, Terry]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/823459172</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063373761/MC.GIF&amp;client=sanap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Color of Magic]]></title><description><![CDATA[Terry Pratchett's profoundly irreverent, bestselling novels have garnered him a revered position in the halls of parody next to the likes of Mark Twain, Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Adams, and Carl Hiaasen.

What's done cannot be undone-despite old Granny Weatherwax's attempts to bring the child into the witchy fold-and little Eskis now a wizard, through and through.

But what bothers Watch Commander Sir Sam Vimes is that the unusual deaths of three elderly Ankh-Morporkians do not bear the clean, efficient marks of the Assassins' Guild. An apparent lack of any motive is also quitetroubling. All Vimes has are some tracks of white clay and more of those bothersome "clue" things that only serve to muck up an investigation. The anger of a fearful populace is already being dangerously channeled toward the city's small community of golems -- the mindless, absurdlyindustrious creatures of baked clay who can occasionally be found toiling in the city's factories. And certain highly placed personages are using the unrest as an excuse to resurrect a monarchy -- which would be bad enough even if the "king" they were grooming wasn't as empty-headed as your typical animated pottery.]]></description><link>https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S172C74027</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S172C74027</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pratchett, Terry]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2007 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/74027172</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>A Novel of Discworld</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780061464164/MC.GIF&amp;client=sanap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Light Fantastic]]></title><description><![CDATA[There is only one individual who can save the world from a disastrous collision.

By the author of Going Postal. It's a game of Trolls and Dwarfs where the player must take both sides to win. It's the noise a troll club makes when crushing in a dwarf skull, or when a dwarfish axe cleaves a trollish cranium. It's the unsettling sound of history about to repeat itself. THUD! It's the most extraordinary, outrageous, provocative, insightful, and keenly cutting flight of fancy yet from Discworld's incomparable supreme creator, Terry Pratchett. Commander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch admits he may not be the sharpest knife in the cutlery drawer. He might not even be a spoon. But he's dogged and honest and he'll be damned if he lets anyone disturb his city's always tentative peace, and that includes a rabble-rousing dwarf from the sticks (or deep beneath them) who's been stirring up big trouble on the eve of the anniversary of one of Discworld's most infamous historical events. Centuries earlier, in a gods-forsaken hellhole called Koom Valley, a horde of trolls met a division of dwarfs in bloody combat. Though nobody's quite sure why they fought or who actually won, hundreds of years on each species still bears the cultural scars, and one views the other with simmering animosity and distrust. Lately, an influential dwarf, Grag Hamcrusher, has been fomenting unrest among Ankh-Morpork's more diminutive citizens with incendiary speeches. And it doesn't help matters when the pint-size provocateur is discovered beaten to death, with a troll club lying conveniently nearby. Vimes knows the well-being of his smoldering city depends on his ability to solve the Hamcrusher homicide without delay. (Vimes's secondmost-pressing responsibility, in fact, next to being home every evening at six sharp to read Where's My Cow? to Young Sam.) Whatever it takes to unstick this very sticky situation, Vimes will do it, even tolerating having a vampire in the Watch. But there's more than one corpse waiting for him in the eerie, summoning darkness of the vast, labyrinthine mine network the dwarfs have been excavating in secret beneath Ankh-Morpork's streets. A deadly puzzle is pulling Sam Vimes deep into the muck and mire of superstition, hatred, and fear, and perhaps all the way to Koom Valley itself.]]></description><link>https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S172C76500</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S172C76500</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pratchett, Terry]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2005 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/76500172</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>A Novel of Discworld</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780060888879/MC.GIF&amp;client=sanap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
