Jingo: A Discworld Novel

Commander Sam Vimes and the Ankh-Morpork City Watch must defend their country when Discworld goes to war. The conflict begins when Leshp, a small island of silt and ruins, rises from the Circle Sea between two proud lands: Ankh-Morpork and the city of Al-Khali on the coast of Klatch. This historically disputed territory is enough to spark war between the two nations. Pressed into military service, Vimes believes he should be fighting criminals rather than foreign soldiers. However, he views war itself as the greatest crime and feels duty-bound to seek out the masterminds behind it. As two armies march, Vimes confronts dangerous enemies—both from the opposing forces and from his own side. Jingo is the 4th book in the City Watch collection and the 21st Discworld novel overall. The Discworld novels can be read in any order.
