Plot

The book deals with a war between Ankh-Morpork and Klatch over the island of Leshp, which unexpectedly rises from the sea after centuries of submersion. When Samuel Vimes uncovers signs of a conspiracy, he and the members of the City Watch, with the assistance of the mysterious 71-Hour Ahmed, try to bring a stop to the oncoming conflict. Meanwhile, Fred Colon and Nobby Nobbs find themselves drafted by The Patrician into using an experimental Going-Under-the-Water-Safely Device to travel to Klatch and do some reconnaissance.

★ "Doctorum Adamus cum Flabello Dulci," the honorary degree that Prince Khufurah receives at the Unseen University early in the novel means "Doctor of Sweet Fanny Adams," essentially "Doctor of Nothing at All"

★ During an argument between various leaders of the Ankh-Morpork army the Patrician ironically states, "Gentlemen, no fighting please. This is, after all, a council of war." This parodies a line spoken in the 1964 film ''.
