Men at Arms
by Terry Pratchett
While not as intensely satirical as Guards, Men At Arms is another fantastic Pratchett novel that manages to discuss things such as gun ownership, diversity and racial tensions, as well as thoroughly lambasting the fantasy idea of the Once and Future King of the realm that could do no wrong. The author weaves all of these themes into an interesting, exciting and endlessly hilarious plot, expanding the focus of the book beyond Captain Vimes to include other members of the watch.
It would be hard to pick a favorite, though Detritus (Don't salute!) and Cuddy would definitely be strong contenders, just by virtue of the way the relationship between them grows as the novel goes on. The growth of Carrot was also a lot of fun to witness, though in retrospect it's a little difficult to accept that his being perfect at everything is in a way a joke regarding perfect characters in that manner. However, he's a lovable dude with plenty of 'krisma' so it's not too bad.
