The stuff of everyday headlines these days and very possibly the best book I've read on the current wars. On the edge, driven, taut, and by far the best depiction of American soldiers on the front line. In many ways a mixture of Jarhead and War, it takes you straight into the fighting, bleeding, dying. In simple, direct language, with just the kind of 24/7 unexpected situations you face in combat. It is a story that can be enjoyed very much for it's plot and characters alone, but one that I also found to be very thought-provoking and topical, drawing on many different themes and conflicts. With the general set-up of the story being a Pashtun woman approaching the US army outpost in the aftermath of a fierce exchange to claim her brother's body so that she may bury him accordingly, the novel prompted of me a moment of introspection when I found my immediate reaction to be in-line with that of Captain Connelly.

The Ankh-Morpork City Watch is the police force of the fictional city of Ankh-Morpork in the Discworld series by the English writer Terry Pratchett. In Jingo, Angua is kidnapped on a Klatchian ship and The Watch pursues them. Carrot does not stand at the front of the ship fraught with worry but, sensibly, gets some sleep so he will be ready to rescue her when they catch up. Although Sam Vimes and the ship's captain see the sense of this, they can't believe that someone in love could be so sensible.

This book highlights the interesting topic of wristwatches as a means of telling the time – and the contrast of the technology of the 21st century where smartphones and computers actually tell the time much more accurately than a wristwatch. But despite this, wristwatches have ”seen a boom in the development, production, and appreciation of all things horological.” The book also discusses more uncommon and less-discussed topics where information on the web is rather limited, such as personalized dials, vintage dial variations and patina, rare dials, and much more.

In the 1999 computer game Discworld Noir, and the 2001 books-on-tape version of Men at Arms, her name is pronounced "An-gyoo-uh" with a hard "g". Terry Pratchett writes on the terrypratchettbooks.com forum: "it's Ang as in Anger, u as in you, a as in a thing". Closer examination, though, shows that Colon has some hidden depths. As Vimes thought it, most of the other watch officers saw a fat, stupid, lazy, cowardly man and that was mostly what was there, but Colon and Nobby have a street-level knowledge of Ankh-Morpork on a par with Vimes and are good at sensing tension in a crowd. Both are also survivors of the Glorious 25 May when, as described in Night Watch, in the aftermath of a coup an assortment of regular police and hangers-on (including an apprentice Assassin called Vetinari) took out, at some cost, the hard-line remnants of the outgoing regime's secret police. Colon also performs his duties in Thud! fairly well. He is an amiable jailer, and bright enough to keep the keys in a closed tin box in the bottom drawer of his desk, well out of reach of anything an inmate would be able to use. He is often portrayed as being prejudiced against "minority," even in the Watch, such as dwarves, undead, "foreigners," or even women. However, his prejudice is so non-specific and naive (and frequently short-lived when actually exposed to the group in question) that nobody takes it seriously. This is a beautiful and heartfelt work, reminiscent of Slaughterhouse Five. It is intense and will resonate long after you put it down. COSMOGRAPH DAYTONA… a legendary name among watch aficionados, one that conjures up montages of speed, engines and sound, but also synonymous with prestige and admiration. The origin of the myth is linked to a city in Florida, named Daytona Beach, famous for its sea- side motorcycle and car races. In 1959, the Daytona 500 race was born and three years later, Rolex was appointed official timekeeper of the Daytona International Speedway – heralding the story of the legendary Cosmograph Daytona.Watt-Evans, Lawrence (2008).

The Watch and its individual members also appear in some form in many of the other Discworld novels, especially those set in Ankh-Morpork. Gisbert L. Brunner (1947) has been writing about all things related to watchmaking since 1964. He regularly contributes to specialised media and has written more than twenty books.

Ironically it is also Nobby who ends the war between the dwarves and the trolls. In Thud it is revealed that the Battle of Koom Valley, the main reason for the continuing hatred between those two races, was not supposed to be a war at all but a chance for the Kings of each side to discuss peace. This information is contained in an ancient artifact called a Cube. Nobby, who has been set up as a petty thief from the start, finds and steals the Cube at some point in the book, although we do not find this out until Vimes tells him to hand it over. Vimes works out how to make the Cube play its message, in the presence of the current King of the Dwarves, and the truth of Koom Valley is heard for the first time in hundreds of years.

One of the areas where the author excels is in displaying how different actions may be interpreted depending on the perspective from which you view them. Actions, and the intentions behind them, can be interpreted or misinterpreted.. Metcalf, Mitch (26 January 2020).

[ dead link] Carrot's main talents were his and his charisma and "supernatural likability". He had genuine interest in and liking for people, particularly in contrast to his boss and friend, Vimes, who "doesn't like anybody". He is often shown to be able to get people to do things no one else could force them to do, simply by assuming that they will; for example, he has great success in his outreach programs to at-risk Ankh-Morporkian youth by treating them like boy scouts. When he directly commands someone, they find it supremely difficult to disobey (even Vimes is shown on one occasion as being susceptible to this power). However, he preferred not to use this except in dire emergencies. In 2004, a limited edition of 2’004 unnumbered Speedmasters was produced only for the Japanese market.
