Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett

5.0

This is a superb part of the Discworld dynasty and follows a newly created regiment within the oh so manly army that turns out to be immensely ill equipped and untrained and yet pulls of some epic missions and successes, much to the surprise of their commanding officer. But of course this is not the only thing that he finds surprising as his new recruits are not all they seem and by making excellent use of socks and the general assumption that certain humans can't fight, the recruits bend (and break) more than just the rules. Packed full of Pratchett's usual dry wit and satirical ribbing of the modern world, this has an extra edge as it takes on the most macho and destructive of things, war.
