‘That’s the trouble about the good guys and the bad guys! They’re all guys!’In the small yet aggressive country of Borogravia, there are strict rules citizens must follow. For a start, women belong in the kitchen – not in jobs, pubs, or indeed trousers.

Going to war however, is not.Polly and her fellow raw recruits are suddenly in the thick of a losing battle. All they have on their side is the most artful sergeant in the army and a vampire with a lust for coffee.It’s time to make a stand.’You ride along on his tide of outlandish invention, realising that you are in the presence of a true original’ The TimesThe Discworld novels can be read in any order but Monstrous Regiment is a standalone.

| About The Author | Terry Pratchett was the acclaimed creator of the global bestselling Discworld series, the first of which, The Colour of Magic, was published in 1983. In all, he was the author of over fifty bestselling books which have sold over 100 million copies worldwide. His novels have been widely adapted for stage and screen, and he was the winner of multiple prizes, including the Carnegie Medal. He was awarded a knighthood for services to literature in 2009, although he always wryly maintained that his greatest service to literature was to avoid writing any. http://www.terrypratchettbooks.com |
| Review Quote | 'Not since Evelyn Waugh's novel Officers and Gentlemen has conflict faced such thoroughly cutting questioning…A great piece of writing, akin to Jonathan Swift' |
| Other text | 'You ride along on his tide of out-landish invention, realizing that you are in the presence of a true original among contemporary writers – a fantasist who loves naff humour and silly names, and yet whose absurd world is, at heart, a serious portrait of the jingoistic fears that keep us at each other's throats' |
