Join me on a read through of Discworld! Today we're looking at the fifteenth book, Men At Arms, one of the City Watch novels.

Sam Vimes is leaving the watch to get married. Corporal Carrot is taking over and bringing three new members into the Watch. But a killer is stalking the streets with a powerful new weapon, and targeting city leaders. Tensions are rising as old prejudices return, and Sam and Carrot must solve these murders before the city falls into total anarchy.
