About this listen

Over 1 million Discworld audiobooks sold – discover the extraordinary universe of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld like never before


'What's so hard about pulling a sword out of a stone? The real work's already been done. You ought to make yourself useful and find the man who put the sword in the stone in the first place.'

The City Watch needs MEN! But what it's got includes Corporal Carrot (technically a dwarf), Lance-constable Cuddy (really a dwarf), Lance-constable Detritus (a troll), Lance-constable Angua (a woman... most of the time) and Corporal Nobbs (disqualified from the human race for shoving).

And they need all the help they can get, because someone in Ankh-Morpork has been getting dangerous ideas - about crowns and legendary swords, and destiny.

And the problem with destiny is, of course, that she is not always careful where she points her finger. One minute you might be minding your own business on a normal if not spectacular career path, the next you might be in the frame for the big job, like saving the world . . .

The Discworld novels can be listened to in any order but Men At Arms is the second book in the City Watch series.

I thoroughly enjoyed this. The voices of each character were unique and well considered for their natures. I particularly loved the voice for Gaspode. Woof.

Excellent narration

Discworld is an immersive world of adventure and fun, with many puns and references to other works of fiction, movies or songs that are fun to pick up on, but don’t mess up the plot if you are oblivious to them.

Fantastic character development and writing style.
