    About to finish Discworld for the third time and Nights Watch may be the best of all 41 books.

    “You took an oath to uphold the law and defend the citizens without fear or favor," said Vimes. "And to protect the innocent. That’s all they put in. Maybe they thought those were the important things. Nothing in there about orders, even from me. You’re an officer of the law, not a soldier of the government.”

      I think I had the awful luck of reading Mort and Nights Watch before any other series book, and they are by far my favorites to this day. Still many to read, and many I greatly enjoyed, but those two are something else for me.
