Discworld: the death collection Guards! guards!

This is where the dragons went. They lie ... not dead, not asleep, but ... dormant. And although the space they occupy isn't like normal space, nevertheless they are packed in tightly.

GUARDS! is the eighth Discworld novel - and after this, dragons will never be the same again!
