About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

'What shall we do?' said Twoflower.
'Panic?' said Rincewind hopefully. He always held that panic was the best means of survival.

As it moves towards a seemingly inevitable collision with a malevolent red star, the Discworld could do with a hero.

Critic reviews

He is a satirist of enormous talent..Incredibly funny, compulsively readable
He would be amusing in any form and his spectacular inventiveness makes the Discworld series one of the perennial joys of modern fiction
Pure fantastic delight

Great performance by Tony Robinson . Terry Pratchett is a wonderful storyteller, he has built a world which you believe in, and you care about the characters. Entertaining and humorous.

Really enjoyable

From start to finish I loved this book. Tony Robinson is a fantastic narrator and brought this whole thing to life. I'm looking forward to the next in the series. Terry Pratchetts books are up there with The Hobbit. And The Lord of the Rings. Magical!

Loved everything about this book
