2 - Summary of Monstrous Regiment

Monstrous Regiment is by Terry Pratchett.

The story takes place in the Duchy of Borogravia who has declared war on all of its neighbors. Now some countries have formed the Alliance whose goal is to destroy the duchy. The prince of Zlobenia is the heir to the Borogravian throne and hopes to prove the ruling family has died out so he can incorporate it into his country. Polly is not interested in issues of state but intends to find her brother and bring him home.
She disguises herself as a male and signs up to join the army. Her unit consists of other females masquerading as men, a vampire, a troll, an Igor as well as a heroic sergeant. When they capture some enemy soldiers, instead of taking them as prisoners of war, they end releasing them, not realizing one of the soldiers is the prince. Their actions bring them to the attention of the Alliance who is inspired by the courage of the regiment and hesitates to invade their country. That hesitation gives Polly and the other members of the unit a chance to come up with a truce with the Alliance.
