Hombres de Armas: Una Novela Del Mundodisco (Mundodisco #Volumen 15)
by Terry PratchettSiguen las aventuras increíbles en Mundodisco. «¡Sé un HOMBRE en la Guardia de la Ciudad! ¡La Guardia de la Ciudad necesita HOMBRES!» Hasta ahora, sin embargo, la Guardia Nocturna solo cuenta con el cabo Zanahoria (técnicamente un enano), el agente Cuddy (realmente un enano), el agente Detritus (un troll), la agente Angua (una mujer... la mayor parte del tiempo) y el cabo Nobbs (descalificado de la carrera evolutiva por hacer trampas). Y necesitan toda la ayuda que puedan conseguir. Porque hay un asesino suelto en las calles, con un arma nueva y mortífera y, lo más peligroso, un PLAN para devolver a la ciudad de Ankh-Morpork su grandeza perdida. Además, tienen que desenmascararlo antes del mediodía, cuando el capitán Vimes devuelva su placa y se case con la mujer más rica de la ciudad. Comparado con lo que les viene encima, acabar con aquel dragón que atacó la ciudad hace un tiempo resultó fácil, ¡hasta enfrentarse a un ejército de enanos sería más fácil! Y si la tarea es complicada para un cuerpo de vigilancia normal, para la Guardia Nocturna puede convertirse, literalmente, en un auténtico «rompecocos»... Reseña:«Terry Pratchett es tremendamente divertido. Es sabio. Tiene estilo.»Daily Telegraph
