The "Ankh-Morpork Watch & Ward" was founded in AM 1561 by King Veltrick I. Note: Some of the information repeated below was taken from The Discworld Companion and the 1999 Discworld Diary, which had a City Watch theme, and has not been confirmed in any of the Discworld novels. Fictional history (before the time in which the novels are set) Pratchett's Watch has been described as part of a longstanding fantasy tradition where the characters of the city watch would "rush in and die, or run away", with Pratchett's approach to that tradition ranging from parody in the earlier novels to "deeper satire" in the later ones. The Watch is also the loose inspiration for the 2021 fantasy police procedural television series, The Watch. Besides these main stories, the Watch, and individual members thereof, appear in some form in many of the other Discworld novels, especially those set in Ankh-Morpork. In order of publication, they are Guards! Guards! (1989), " Theatre of Cruelty" (1993) (a short story), Men at Arms (1993), Feet of Clay (1996), Jingo (1997), The Fifth Elephant (1999), Night Watch (2002), Thud! (2005) and Snuff (2011). These novels generally feature as the protagonist, the Watch Commander Sam Vimes, and take on the general shape of a crime novel, in which the Watch are called on to solve a mysterious crime. The Watch, its growth and development, and its inner workings are explored through a series of eight fantasy novels and one short story. The Ankh-Morpork City Watch is the police force of the fictional city of Ankh-Morpork in the Discworld series by the English writer Terry Pratchett.

I only hope she can continue to write such fresh breaths of air.This article describes a work or element of fiction in a primarily in-universe style. Can't believe this is the author's first novel. Chase Austin - what to say about this man? Absolutely wonderful and dreamy from his glamor, sheer masculinity, moodiness, emotional isolation and oft misinterpreted signals.
One gets so sick of these almost cookie cutter seeming romance novels but this one was so fresh and well written that it was a wonderful excursion away from the regular. Chaotic Cate on Amazon wrote:įlawless book.
I was completely immersed in these characters and their passion for what they love. Harper Dallas has created a fabulous snowboarding universe with Ride and the The False Kings riders. It feels like an experienced writer who knows what she’s doing. One of the best romance novels I've read in months, and I read a lot of romances. Exciting, breathtaking and full of emotional tension and chemistry.
