""Wickedly satirical . . . nothing short of brilliant.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
The 31st entry in Sir Terry Pratchett’s internationally bestselling Discworld series about the art of war and the brave women who wage it.
War has come to Discworld. The homes and businesses throughout the duchy of Borogravia limp along, doing the best they can without their men, sent to fight their age-old enemy. Polly has taken over the lion’s share of responsibility for the running of her family’s humble inn, The Duchess. Her beloved brother Paul marched off to war almost a year ago, but it has been more than two months since his last letter home, and the news from the front is bad: the fighting has reached the border, supplies are dwindling, and the brave Borogravians are losing precious ground. So the resourceful Polly cuts off her hair and joins the army as a young man named Oliver. As Polly closely guards her secret, she notices that her fellow recruits seem to be guarding secrets of their own.
A novel that explores the inanity of war, the ins and outs of sexual politics, and why often the best man for the job is a woman, Monstrous Regiment is vintage Pratchett in top form.
The Discworld novels can be read in any order but Monstrous Regiment is a standalone.

Som alltid är den full av humor och en otrolig inblick i mänsklig psykologi. Den får dig att skratta högt samtidigt som den får dig att tänka ett steg längre.Det är en bok av Terry Pratchett. Behöver jag skriva nåt mer?

Älskar Terry Pratchett! I denna boken är det som jeanne d’Arc möter band of brothers på ett mycket underhållande och vackert sätt!

Jag har aldrig tyckt att en Pratchettbok är dålig, men den här var tyvärr det. Den var seg.

Fantastisk, som vanligt. Vimes är med i bakgrunden men storyn handlar om karaktärer som inte har en egen storyline över flera böcker. En lite extra fristående Discworld helt enkelt
