About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

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

The audiobook of The Last Continent is read by Colin Morgan (Merlin; Testament of Youth; Belfast). 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.

'Anything you do in the past changes the future. The tiniest little actions have huge consequences. You might tread on an ant now and it might entirely prevent someone from being born in the future.'

Rincewind, inept wizard and reluctant hero, has found himself magically stranded on the Discworld's last continent.

It's hot. It's dry. There was this thing once called The Wet, which no one believes in any more. Practically everything that's not poisonous is venomous. But it's the best bloody place in the world, all right?

And in a few days, it will die. The only thing standing between the last continent and wind-blown doom is Rincewind, and he can't even spell wizard. Still . . . no worries, eh?

The Last Continent is the sixth book in the Wizards 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.

Ok, so this book is amazing (which is true for the vast majority of the Discword novels). I listened to it one time and then I listened again while driving from Holland to Poland (it’s a 12-hour drive, fits just perfectly) and then I listened some more. And every time you discover something new and you laugh and it’s great but who is reading Ponder Stibbobs? Seriously, I have a little crush but I don’t know who my crush is, so could someone let me know it, please (gosia.perz@gmail.com)? Muchas gracias! :)

But who is reading Ponder Stibbons?

One of my favourite Pratchett novels and I love this re-recording. Colin Morgan is an excellent audio actor and the way Death and the footnotes are handled is very amusing. Highly recommended.

Brilliant

I have absolutely loved Colin Morgan’s narration of the series. I thought previous versions were good when I heard them but this is a whole other level. I cannot believe how many different Australian-accented voices he had to do, plus the usual wizards’ voices… and somehow he doesn’t get them mixed up as I have heard others do who have had much fewer characters to voice. On top of that the story narration is so full of character. Very impressive narration and very enjoyable story.

Amazing narration!

An excellent performance by Colin Morgan of one of Pratchett’s best, but perhaps less well-known, stories. Rincewind finds himself in XXXX (Fourecks) in the company of Scrappy the kangaroo.

Wonderfully narrated

I’m not really a fan of Colin Morgan tbh (Thanks ‘Merlin’) but his normal reading voice timbre, tone, cadence are actually quite good. Unfortunately, he seems to equate characters to silly and/or stupid. Other than Ponder S., the voice characterisation is absolutely dreadful and this spoils an otherwise pretty good narration. The only worse narrator (surprisingly) was Andy Serkis. All others have been tip top!

Poor silly voices for most of the characters
