The final books in the City Watch series, and the storyline of Sam Vimes are Monstrous Regiment, Thud!, Snuff and Raising Steam. The Fifth Elephant and The Truth are the next books in the City Watch series, then The Last Hero and Night Watch.

The City watch first feature in Guards! Guards! Men At Arms is the next book to feature Sam Vimes and the City Watch, followed by Feet of Clay and Jingo. Vimes epitomises the every-man in his role as a guard in the City Watch, before he rises through the ranks due to his bravery and courage, as well as his great ability to solve crimes. Perhaps the other beloved character in the Discworld series is that of Sam Vimes and his City Watch. He is also followed around by the monstrous Luggage, a massive trunk on legs which has a predisposition for violence.

Rincewind’s story focused on his ineptitude at being a wizard, and the fact that he is pretty much useless in his studies at the Unseen University.

Rinewind’s series continued with The Light Fantastic, then Sourcery, Eric, Interesting Times, The Last Continent, The Last Hero, and finally Unseen Academicals. As well as being a series unto itself, the Discworld series also features sub-series featuring the storylines of various different characters, which sometimes overlapped. As well as being the first book in the Discworld series, it was also the first book in the wizard Rincewind’s series of adventures. The first book to be released in the Discworld series was The Colour of Magic, which was released in 1983.
