Summary:
It isn't much of an island that rises up one moonless night from the
depths of the Circle Sea -- just a few square miles of silt and some
old ruins. Unfortunately, the historically disputed lump of land
called Leshp is once again floating directly between Ankh-Morpork and
the city of Al-Khali on the coast of Klatch -- which is spark enough
to ignite that glorious international pastime called "war." Pressed
into patriotic service, Commander Sam Vimes thinks he should be
leading his loyal watchmen, female watchdwarf, and lady werewolf into
battle against local malefactors rather than against uncomfortably
well-armed strangers in the Klatchian desert. But war is, after all,
simply the greatest of all crimes -- and it's Sir Samuel's sworn duty
to seek out criminal masterminds wherever they may be hiding ... and
lock them away before they can do any real damage. Even the ones on
his own side.
