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 Pyramids is narrated by Alfred Enoch, known for playing Dean Thomas in the Harry Potter film series, and Wes Gibbins in How To Get Away With Murder. 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.

'"LOOK AFTER THE DEAD," SAID THE PRIESTS, "AND THE DEAD WOULD LOOK AFTER YOU."'

Young Prince Teppic is sent far away from his desert homeland to the city of Ankh-Morpork for the best education money can buy. Which just so happens to be at the Assassins' Guild.

But when Teppic's father dies suddenly, fate takes him away from assassination to something far more unsavoury: politics. Teppic returns home to the small, penniless kingdom of Djelibeybi to take his place as ruler.

It isn't easy, being a teenage pharaoh. As tradition dictates, the new king must build a monumental pyramid to honour his dead father. But this one might just bankrupt the kingdom, and warp the very fabric of time and space itself...

The Discworld novels can be read in any order but Pyramids is a standalone.

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

Critic reviews

'Like Dickens, much of Pratchett's appeal lies in his humanism, both in a sentimental regard for his characters' good fortune, and in that his writing is generous-spirited and inclusive'
'As funny as Wodehouse and as witty as Waugh'
'Imagine a collision between Jonathan Swift at his most scatologically-minded and J.R.R. Tolkien on speed'
'The best kind of parody - funny and smart and still a good story'

I've listened to the majority of the discworld books on audiobook but the ones I've heard were all narrated by Nigel Plainer. So I thought I red listen but to the new updated versions. So far I've done the first five. I have to day they're all good. Although Mort read by a lady, I personally think that this was an error. Although Serafanowitz as death always helps. Any of the witches books perfect but for Mort it didn't whirl for me. Anyway I digress. Alfred Enoch! What a fantastic narrator and absolutely perfect for this title. It just really worked. For a relatively young fella (I'll always see him that way, as I was in my 20's when I first saw him in Harry Potter) a flawless reader. Great voices for all of the characters. I'm really hoping to hear more from Alfred Enoch in future Discworld audiobooks.

Well who knew.

Really great concept for this book. Very funny characters and all ties in so neatly. Really enjoyed this one and great voice acting to bring it all together. Fantastic!

Clever concept
