Polly and her fellow raw recruits are suddenly in the thick of a losing battle. All they have on their side is the most artful sergeant in the army and a vampire with a lust for coffee. It's time to make a stand. 'You ride along on his tide of outlandish invention, realising that you are in the presence of a true original' The Times The Discworld novels can be read in any order but Monstrous Regiment is a standalone.
