Guards!</cite>, that the dedication for the book also shows that the themes of <cite>Night Watch</cite> were in Pratchett's mind from the start the sub-series: <blockquote> <p>They may be called the Palace Guard, the City Guard, or the Patrol. Whatever their name, their purpoes 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 wanted to.</p> <p>This book is dedicated to those fine men.</p></blockquote></p> http://www.steelypips.org/weblog/2003/01/pratchett_terry_6.php#c3779
