Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

The audiobook of Feet of Clay is narrated by impressionist and actor Jon Culshaw, best known for BBC Radio 4’s Dead Ringers, and for the Doctor Who audiobooks and dramas. 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.

'IT WASN'T BY ELIMINATING THE IMPOSSIBLE THAT YOU GOT AT THE TRUTH, HOWEVER IMPROBABLE; IT WAS BY THE MUCH HARDER PROCESS OF ELIMINATING THE POSSIBILITIES.'

Commander Sam Vimes of the City Watch is used to trouble. There's always trouble in Ankh-Morpork.

But this is new: people are being brutally murdered and there's no evidence of anything alive having been at the crime scene. At the same time, the most powerful man in the city has been poisoned and is clinging on to life by a thread.

It's a conundrum of a case. With the help of Captain Carrot, the only watchman who knows the law inside-out; Corporal Cheery Littlebottom, an unconventional dwarf with an eye for forensics; and Constable Angua, a werewolf with an excellent sense of smell, Vimes tries to solve the mystery.

But time is of the essence, for something extremely dangerous is loose in the city, its red eyes glowing in the night…

Feet of Clay is the third book in the City Watch series, but you can listen to the Discworld novels in any order.

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

Back with the Watch and another Case

I always enjoy following Sam Vimes in the watch and the performance is always amazing with the variety of voiced that can be portrayed.

There was a few parts where I kinda wanted it to move on mainly when a load of guild heads were waffling for 30 minutes worth of audio book other than that it's amazing.

Golems are my new best friends!

Just go listen to it! Once they come into their own Golems are the most upright righteous characters of all in the Discworld.

Another great audio adaptation

You really can't beat Terry Pratchett's stories and Jon Culshaw adds great voices (mostly at least, this isn't how Rosie Palm sounds on my head) to make this another great audio adaptation.

Brilliant narration of a clasic.

Loved the depth and character given to my favourite (fictional) friends. A faultless classic Terry Pratchett.

Better story, not as many jokes

Not the funniest of Pratchett's book, but one of the more deeper stories in the Discworld series that doesn't have DEATH as the main character.

John Culshaw is perfect

Of course the story and writing are a work of genius. I’m so glad that John Culshaw brings it to life perfectly.

Great reading of a favorite.

Top of Pratchett form for humour this one, topped by Nobby's short lived role as nobleman and the religious quest of a fireproof golem. Classic!

One of the best

Strong story and well worked characters (of course) this is one of my favourite Pratchett books. Good pacing and a few twists and turns told with an underlying sense of humour and a set of principles that the story makes not just ramned down the readers throat as in some fantasy series I have read. Great addition to the Watch stories
