Men at Arms is a fantasy novel by British writer Terry Pratchett, the 15th book in the Discworld series, first published in 1993. It is the second novel about the Ankh-Morpork City Watch on the Discworld. Lance-constable Angua von Überwald, later in the series promoted to the rank of Sergeant, is introduced in this book. Lance-constable (in the course of the novel promoted to Acting-constable) Detritus is introduced as a new member of the watch as well, though he had already appeared in other Discworld novels, most notably in Moving Pictures. Also notable is the only appearance of Lance-constable Cuddy (also promoted to Acting-constable).

Review of 'Men at Arms' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

I feel like this was a turning point in the watch cycle - with Guards Guards, it started in the King Carrot direction, but Men At Arms went more towards the Watch and the ending here cemented that direction. I'm curious what could have been, but I really like the Watch as it turned out.
