The first book in the Watch series. Solid fun characters, and an excellent police procedural. Few books in the Watch series get better than this. ( )

The City Watch might be my new favorite Discworld characters. ( )

Early and canonical Sam Vimes and Carrot. Must, must, must read. Would love to have a first. ( )

i Never thought i would say this about anything Terry Pratchett had written but i didnt enjoy this. Its Ok but when held up againsy other diskworld works, it doesnt flow and just isnt as funy, yea you should read it as part of the series, but there are far far better ones. ( )

I love the City Watch series in Discworld - Vimes and Carrot are two of my favorite characters, and seeing their beginnings was wonderful. I couldn't put the book down, even though this is the third time I've read it. ( )

Book description
Audiobook, first in the City Watch storyline of the Discworld series.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0061020648, Mass Market Paperback)

Here there be dragons...and the denizens of Ankh-Morpork wish one huge firebreather would return from whence it came. 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...).
