Synopsis "Guards! Guards! 8 (Discworld) "

Welcome to Guards! Guards!, the eighth book in Terry Pratchett's legendary Discworld series.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...). How did it get there? How is the Unique and Supreme Lodge of the Elucidated Brethren of the Ebon Night involved? Can the Ankh-Morpork City Watch restore order - and the Patrician of Ankh-Morpork to power?Magic, mayhem, and a marauding dragon...who could ask for anything more?

In 2009, he was knighted by the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire for his services to literature. His secret? Nothing escaped the smart, relaxed, and ironic gaze of this author who, in the best British satirical tradition, subverted all genres. In addition to being the creator of Discworld and the series of stories set there, he is the author of the standalone novel Dodger and co-author, with Stephen Baxter, of the Long Earth series.
