“Monstrous Regiment is a standalone Discworld book. It’s a dark book. It kind of comes out of nowhere. It doesn’t really fit with any of the other Discworld books, although there are a couple of recurring characters that pop in. But you see them from another angle, as you are viewing them through the eyes of different characters. I think it could easily have been that book set during the Napoleonic Wars. It has those big hats, red hats on the battlefield. And although there is some really funny stuff in it—war movie cliches and Apocalypse Now references—it’s probably the least funny of his books, and the most serious. It’s really good, and it’s another one that I return to again and again.” Read more...
