Over 1 million Discworld audiobooks sold – discover the extraordinary universe of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld like never before

The audiobook of Reaper Man is narrated by the BAFTA award-winning actor Sian Clifford (Fleabag; Vanity Fair; Quiz). BAFTA and Golden Globe award-winning actor Bill Nighy (Love Actually; Pirates of the Caribbean; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) reads the footnotes, and Peter Serafinowicz (Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace; Shaun of the Dead) stars as the voice of Death. Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan.

'Inside every living person is a dead person waiting to get out.'

Death has been fired by the Auditors of Reality for the heinous crime of developing...a personality. Sent to live like everyone else, Death takes a new name and begins working as a farmhand. He's got the scythe already, after all.

And for humanity, Death is just...gone. Which leads to the kind of chaos you always get when an important public service is withdrawn. If Death doesn't come for you, then what are you supposed to do in the meantime?

You can't have the undead wandering about like lost souls-there's no telling what might happen. Particularly when they discover that life really is only for the living...

The Discworld novels can be listened to in any order, but Reaper Man is the second book in the Death series.

The first book in the Discworld series-The Colour of Magic-was published in 1983. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this.

Critics' reviews

'If you're an established fan, you'll enjoy this as much as the others; if you're new to Pratchett, what the hell took you so long?'
'One taste, and you'll scour bookstores for more'
'Pratchett's humour takes logic past the point of absurdity and round again, but it is his unexpected insights into the human morality that make the Discworld series stand out'

Perfect. I read the book years ago. Now I listened to it again. A wonderful masterpiece

Terry Pratchett is Terry Pratchett 😀

Really enjoyed this, and the narrator does amazing voices for all characters. Don't understand some people's criticism - may be more of a case of not being used to female narrators.

Great version

Fabulous

Entertaining perspective on death with great narration as always. It just bothered a little bit that the voices for the academics were not that consistent in their character with the rincewind chronicles narration

fun new perspectives

... just isn't for me. I love the books of the new series read by Indira Varma and I adore the rest of the books read by the other actors.
But when interpreting characters I personally don't like Sian Clifford's voice at all, the parts where she is just the storyteller it's fine.

Sian Clifford...
