Here, I can say without equivocation that I like both subgroups very much. In my review of Men at Arms - one of the best of Pratchett’s books - I twisted myself in word-knots trying to decide if the City Watch subgroup of the Discworld novels is my favorite, or maybe it is the Death subgroup. The last of the eight was published in 2011, four years before Pratchett died at the age of 66 from early onset Alzheimer’s disease. The first was Guards! Guards!(1989), followed by Men at Arms (1993) and, then, by Feet of Clay (1996). Eight of Terry Pratchett’s 41 Discworld novels center on the City Watch of Anhk-Morpork.
