Welcome to Guards! Guards!, the eighth book in Terry Pratchett's legendary Discworld series. Long believed extinct, a superb specimen of draco nobilis ("noble dragon" for those who don't understand italics) has appeared in Discworld's greatest city. Not only does this unwelcome visitor have a nasty habit of charbroiling everything in its path, in rather short order it is crowned King (it is a noble dragon, after all...). How did it get there? How is the Unique and Supreme Lodge of the Elucidated Brethren of the Ebon Night involved? Can the Ankh-Morpork City Watch restore order - and the Patrician of Ankh-Morpork to power? Magic, mayhem, and a marauding dragon...who could ask for anything more?

Terry Pratchett does indeed deserve the Knighthood he received by the Queen of England for his service to literature. His take on the "policemen" of this series set in the Discworld is really fun, and the humor engendered by his writing style in general is beyond amusing. I re listen or re read him whenever I need a lift, and it always works. "Laughter is the best medicine", and his medicine is the best. Get this in any form now! ;-)
