Over 1 million Discworld audiobooks sold – discover the extraordinary universe of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld like never before
Discover the gloriously inventive and funny fantasy novel from bestselling author Terry Pratchett, the first book in the City Watch series, part of the Discworld novels.
'Noble dragons don't have friends. The nearest they can get to the idea is an enemy who is still alive.'
The city of Ankh-Morpork is in turmoil, its citizens revolting. Again.
A shadowy secret brotherhood has summoned a dragon to spread terror throughout the city, intent on overthrowing the Patrician and ruling in his place. Too bad the dragon has ideas of its own ...
It's up to Captain Sam Vimes and the ramshackle Night Watch to stop it. Only problem is, the Watch are more used to dealing with mobs than dragons.
And if they can't bring down this fire-breathing tyrant and reinstate their own, slightly less dangerous one, Ankh-Morpork might be lost. For ever...
Guards! Guards! is the first book in the City Watch series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.

It’s a million to one chance-but it might just work!!
Love TP. Love John Culshaw’s reading. Must admit I try and figure out whose voice his using as inspiration for the characters and I swear Vimes is Sean Bean! Classic! I can picture the characters so much better imagining what actor they could be!
Fantastic
The city watch series has always been my favourite of the series, and Jon Culshaw’s take on all the characters is absolutely spot on how I pictured them. Can’t wait to start men at arms tonight!
Excellent new version
Jon Culshaw’s characterisation brings new life to Pratchett’s City Watch. Sam Vimes as played by Sean Bean is a particular pleasure!
