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

The audiobook of Interesting Times 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.

'There is a curse. They say: may you live in interesting times . . .'

This is the worst thing you can wish on a citizen of Discworld. Especially for the magically challenged Rincewind, who has already had far too much excitement in his life.

Unfortunately, the unlucky wizard always seems to end up in the middle of, well, absolutely everything. So when a request for a 'Great Wizzard' arrives from the faraway Counterweight Continent, it's obviously Rincewind who's sent. For one thing, he's the only one who spells wizard that way.

Once again Rincewind is thrown headfirst into a dangerous adventure. For the oldest empire on the Disc is in turmoil and Chaos is building. And, for some reason, someone believes Rincewind will have a vital role in the coming war . . .

Interesting Times is the fifth 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.

'Funny, delightfully inventive, and refuses to lie down in its genre'
'Imagine a collision between Jonathan Swift at his most scatalogically-minded and J.R.R Tolkein on speed... This total mess of- I suppose- a novel, is the joyous outcome'
'Cracking dialogue, compelling illogic and unchained whimsy... Pratchett has a subject and a style that is very much his own'
'Pratchett is as funny as Wodehouse and as witty as Waugh'
'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'
'This spinner of crazy science-fiction tales is a very sophisticated jester'

Pretty much all in the title, why have you kept these bings from the old version, worst thing about them and totally unnecessary- the change of voice is sufficient to indicate the footnote. There is nothing wrong with the performances from the actors, but this little jingle completely ruins it. I was really looking forward to these releases and I’m now, frankly, a bit gutted.

Update: this particular book doesn’t have too many footnotes so it’s been bearable! Side note - Love the Voice of Death in this version.

Annoying ‘bings’ before and after footnotes, WHY.

I’ve read this book a couple of times and the story’s great but it was read REALLY well.
All the characters were sympathetically portrayed with no duds.
Definitely worth listening to

Brilliant.

This is the fifth diskworld book I have read/ listened to and is the best one yet. This narrator nails the characters and had me laughing out loud.
(I know you’re supposed to be able to read the books in any order but I would recommend ‘The Colour of Magic’ before this one to get to know the characters.)

Best book yet!

Interesting times is a fabulous Terry pratchett book well narrated. As always the Pratchett humour is terrific.

Brilliant

A story going back to Rincewind as he is roped into another adventure. Normal level of cowardice and hilarity with a revist to characters not seen in a while. Good listen.

Welcome to the Counterweight Continent
