In addition to these Discworld novels, this collection also includes a full-cast dramatisation of Only You Can Save Mankind, from the Johnny Maxwell series. Commander Sam Vimes of the City Watch is back in his own rough, tough past and he has a job to do. Dying in the past is incredibly easy, especially when there is a serial killer on the loose who targets coppers. For the Great God Om, Brutha is the Chosen One, or at least the only One available…. In such a competitive environment, you need an acolyte and fast. On the Discworld, Gods are as numerous as herring roe, all elbowing for space at the top. Instead he gets Rincewind, the Disc’s most incompetent wizard.
When precocious young Eric Thursley summons a demon from the loathsome pit to fulfil his every wish, he wants what everyone wants – immortality, to rule the world and have the most beautiful woman love him. The Night Watch’s Captain Vimes is used to this but when the Have-Nots find the key to a lethal, dormant weapon that even they don’t understand, he knows it’s time so sober up. In Ankh-Morpork, the Haves and the Have-Nots are about fall out.
But Granny Weatherwax finds that meddling in royal politics is a lot more complicated than certain playwrights would have you believe…. A child heir and the kingdom’s crown are both missing. In fact, it’s a dream job – until he discovers that it can be killer for his love life….
He’ll have free board, use of the company horse and being dead isn’t even compulsory. Hopeless young peasant Mort is hired as an apprentice to Death.
Published for the very first time are seven full-cast BBC Radio dramatisations of Terry Pratchett’s novels, with star-studded casts including Martin Jarvis, Sheila Hancock, Anton Lesser, Philip Jackson, Alex Jennings and Mark Heap. Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a parallel time and place which might sound and smell very much like our own, but which looks completely different…. A collection of the full-cast BBC Radio dramatisations of novels by Terry Pratchett.
