Guards! Guards!

Author: Terry Pratchett

In the bustling city of Ankh-Morpork, where chaos reigns supreme, a secret brotherhood hatches a plan to summon a dragon and overthrow the Patrician. Enter the Night Watch, led by the unlikely hero Captain Vimes, a man more acquainted with the bottom of a bottle than heroics. With a ragtag team of misfits, including a talking dog and a dwarf with an identity crisis, Vimes must unravel the conspiracy before the city goes up in flames. Pratchett’s wit and satire shine in this hilarious romp through the Discworld.

The truth may be out there, but the lies are inside your head.
