Book: Men at Arms by Terry Pratchett

Paperback, 2013. Excellent used condition, nearly new. Very minor cosmetic wear to corners and edges, as shown in pics. "Someone in Ankh-Morpork has been getting dangerous ideas--about crowns and legendary swords, and destiny. And the problem with destiny is that she is not always careful where she points her finger. One minute you might be a six-foot-six adopted dwarf, just minding your own business on a less-than-spectacular career path, and the next you might be in the frame for a big job, like, oh, saving the world." This is another great romping story from Terry Pratchett, featuring the odd assemblage of citizens and detectives of varied species. I think my favorite characters in this book are The Fool's Guild, a ridiculously morbid organization of clowns.... "About this Beano--" Colon began. "We're just holding his funeral," said the little clown. "That's why my trousers are at half-mast." "No clowns were funny. That was the whole purpose of a clown. The point of clowns was that, after watching them, anything else that happened seemed enjoyable." Discworld novels can be read in any order but this is the 2nd in the City Watch collection and the 15th Discworld novel. First published in 1993.
