Men at Arms

Author: Terry Pratchett

In this rollicking adventure, Pratchett thrusts us into the chaotic world of Ankh-Morpork’s City Watch. As a motley crew of misfits joins the force, including a dwarf, a troll, and a werewolf, they’re tasked with solving a perplexing murder. With his trademark wit and clever wordplay, Pratchett weaves a tale that’s both hilarious and thought-provoking. I found myself chuckling at the absurd situations and rooting for these unlikely heroes. It’s a brilliant satire on power, prejudice, and the nature of humanity.

The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.
