Publisher's Summary

The Company builds planets. Kin Arad is a high-ranking official of the Company. After 21 decades of living, and with the help of memory surgery, she is at the top of her profession.

Discovering two of her employees have placed a fossilised plesiosaur in the wrong stratum, not to mention the fact it is holding a placard that reads "End Nuclear Testing Now", doesn't dismay the woman who built a mountain range in the shape of her initials during her own high-spirited youth.

But then came a discovery of something that did intrigue Kin Arad. A flat earth was something new....

    "Needs to be listened to in one go"

    If this was an early work of Terry Pratchett then it is a wonder his other (very good) books sold. It is disjointed (or I lost concentration) and didn't appear to have a meaningful story line. If you listen to it in as few sessions as possible and concentrate then it might be clearer. Maybe a second listen will be more meningful. It introduces the Discworld but does not conjure up the image his other books did so does not set the scene so to speak.

    "Strata - where DiscWorld probably began"

    When listening/reading this, it really should be remembered that this a very early book from TP. It is complicated - but I enjoy that. What I also find fascinating are the references that show the first glimmerings of the idea of discWorld emerging. And as ever with Terry's books, hidden in there is some very complex and interesting philosophy. Also, as ever, Stephen Briggs is brilliant - he doesn't merely narrate - he performs this book.

    "Disappointing"

    I love Terry P and yet found this one hard to listen to and not due to narration which was fine. It didn't have the usual humour I enjoy, was complicated and really didn't care about the characters. Sorry can't recommend it.

    "Not one of TP's best"

    Another fun book, though I did get a bit lost in parts and had to run through again. I have enjoyed other Pratchett's more, but still this is worth a read
