"2nd Ankh-Morpork City Watch novel - UNABRIDGED"
Who is the real heir to the throne of Ankh-Morpork? Who has the power? This book is probably the most important of the Discworld books concerning the City Watch. While investigating the corruptive power of authority as well as the difference between real power and misguided power, Pratchett resurrects the old Ankh-Morpork Watch by helping Captain Sam Vimes to find his feet as chief-in-charge of this most-famous city's law-enforcement machine.
I enjoyed this story tremendously and heartily recommends it.
Nigel Planer did an outstanding job in reading it.
Be warned however, that the Planer-recordings seem all to be dubbed from tape format to digital format. At times the quality of the recording might not be completely what you might come to expect (especially in terms of variation in volume.) Yet, to me this was not a serious distraction.
I heartily recommend patrolling the streets - and sewers - of Ankh-Morpork with Captain Samuel Vimes and the City Watch. Just watch out for any "gonne" or you might be gone.0 of 0 people found this review helpful -

"Great Story - Terrible Production!"
For the Pratchett fan - especially the City Watch books - this is another great story. It's the second Nigel Planer narration I've heard and I'm just not a huge fan. He's fine, but he's not Stephen Briggs and he has a tendency to voice many of his characters in a way that makes them sound a bit slow and dim witted.
I must endorse the comments of a previous reviewer that the production quality is truly awful - terrible sound quality and frequent jump cuts / continuity errors. It's bad enough I think Audible should clean it up or put it on permanent deep discount.0 of 0 people found this review helpful -
"brilliant story"
The story is brilliant. Nigel Planer does a good job, however the production of the audiobook is rubbish. The cover art is incorrect too

"One of Pratchetts best."
What made the experience of listening to Men at Arms the most enjoyable?Nigel Planer does a good job of bringing the characters to life.
Who was your favorite character and why?Captain Vimes. He is nearly everyones favourite.
What does Nigel Planer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?The deep bass of Deaths voice among other things.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?No. simply due to it being 10 hours(!) long.
Any additional comments?Anyone interested in starting to read Terry Pratchetts Discworld series should probably start with the previous city watch book: Guards Guards!
There is nothing about this book that cannot be enjoyed on its own but most prefer to follow the characters chronologically.1 of 2 people found this review helpful
