They may be called the Palace Guard, the City Guard, or the Patrol. Whatever the name, their purpose in any work of heroic fantasy is identical: it is, round about Chapter Three (or ten minutes into the film) to rush into the room, attack the hero one at a time, and be slaughtered. No one ever asks them if they want to.
This book is dedicated to those fine men.
”From Terry Pratchett’s book Guards! Guards!, simply amazing. I must have read this at least five times, and I can’t stop laughing.
I should do a little spam of Guards! Guards! quotes, because they’re simply brilliant.
