书籍介绍

It isn't much of an island that rises up one moonless night from the depths of the Circle Sea -- just a few square miles of silt and some old ruins. Unfortunately, the historically disputed lump of land called Leshp is once again floating directly between Ankh-Morpork and the city of Al-Khali on the coast of Klatch -- which is spark enough to ignite that glorious international pastime called "war." Pressed into patriotic service, Commander Sam Vimes thinks he should be leading his loyal watchmen, female watchdwarf, and lady werewolf into battle against local malefactors rather than against uncomfortably well-armed strangers in the Klatchian desert. But war is, after all, simply the greatest of all crimes -- and it's Sir Samuel's sworn duty to seek out criminal masterminds wherever they may be hiding ... and lock them away before they can do any real damage. Even the ones on his own side.

感觉主题越来越深。。这本干脆讲了国家冲突,“敌国”还很明显是个沙漠里的阿拉伯国家。。虽然这本的剧情走向在碟形世界里也算荒诞了。。为什么各国的coppers都这么正义。。以及Vetinari真的越来越萌了!想看他杂耍和Nobby女装!(电影版里Vetinari好像是铁叔演的。。铁叔杂耍是什么样的。。
