Рейтинг Goodreads
Это подлинная история самого Ночного из всех Ночных Дозоров. История анк-морпоркской Ночной Стражи. Вот только нашего героя зовут Сэм Ваймс, а не сами знаете как. Но про «треснул мир напополам» – это сущая правда. Ведьм не будет, но будут монахи. Вампиров не будет, но будут убийцы. И будут убитые. И будут Свобода – Равенство – Братство, а когда возникает эта троица, жди беды и, самое главное, – крови. И будет смешно. И будет грустно. Ведь это абсолютно правдивая история, которая просто обязана была где-то произойти. Да, а еще не будет… Рембрандта, а будет самый настоящий Терри Пратчетт!!!

Стража! Стража!
Terry Pratchett - 2001-08-01 (впервые опубликовано в 1989)
Рейтинг Goodreads
«Двенадцать часов ночи, и все спокойно!» – таков девиз Ночной Стражи Анк-Морпорка, самого славного города на всем Плоском мире. А если «не все» спокойно, значит, вы просто ходите не по тем улицам. А вообще, чтобы стать настоящим ночным стражником, нужно приложить немало усилий. Во-первых, следует научиться бегать не слишком быстро – а то вдруг догонишь? Во-вторых, требуется постичь основной принцип выживания в жестоких схватках – просто не участвуйте в таковых. В-третьих, не слишком громко кричите, что «все спокойно», – вас могут услышать. Книга, которую вы держите в руках, поистине уникальна. Она поможет вам не только постичь основные принципы выживания в этом жестоком, суровом мире, но и сделать достойную карьеру. Пусть даже ночного стражника…
