Ah, Captain Vimes.
I love you so much, my poor english cannot express it.
But also Angua! Carrot getting complicated! Assassins! Gonnes! Clowns! Detritus getting smarter! Cuddy not being who I thought he was! Gaspode! Big Fido! Lady Sybil Ramkin! Willikins! Vetinari! Leonardo da Quirm! Gargoyles!

Capt. Vimes is back with the old rank and some new recruits. The kingship of Anhk-Morpork is still an issue for someone, but this time no dragons will be harmed during the novel. Gaspode the Wonder Dog will save the day (again!). Trolls and Dwarfs will... well, it'd better if you read that by yourselves! ;-P
