The fourth Discworld novel.

Although the scythe isn't pre-eminent among the weapons of war, anyone who has been on the wrong end of, say, a peasants' revolt will know that in skilled hands it is fearsome.

For Mort however, it is about to become one of the tools of his trade. From henceforth, Death is no longer going to be the end, merely the means to an end. He has received an offer he can't refuse. As Death's apprentice he'll have free board, use of the company horse and being dead isn't compulsory. It's the dream job until he discovers that it can be a killer on his love life.

Product description

From AudioFile

This novel from the Discworld science fiction series isa fun combination of fantasy with modern-day allusions. The reader brings a distinctive style and rhythm that suits the tale. The dry humor and tongue-in-cheek asides play well in the audio format. MORT presents an unlikely hero, an apprentice to Death who is bewildered by the role of Death and Fate in history. Nigel Planer's descriptive characterization carries the plot forward in high fashion. As Mort develops from a timid and backward lad, his voice and manner of expression vividly demonstrate the changes taking place. J.E.M. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to an alternate hardcover edition.

From the Publisher

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Terry Pratchett sold his first story when he was fifteen, which earned him enough money to buy a second-hand typewriter. His first novel, a humorous fantasy entitled The Carpet People, appeared in 1971 from the publisher Colin Smythe. Terry worked for many years as a journalist and press officer, writing in his spare time and publishing a number of novels, including his first Discworld novel, The Color of Magic, in 1983. In 1987 he turned to writing full time, and has not looked back since. To date there are a total of 36 books in the Discworld series, of which four (so far) are written for children. The first of these children's books, The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, won the Carnegie Medal. A non-Discworld book, Good Omens, his 1990 collaboration with Neil Gaiman, has been a longtime bestseller, and was reissued in hardcover by William Morrow in early 2006 (it is also available as a mass market paperback (Harper Torch, 2006) and trade paperback (Harper Paperbacks, 2006). Terry's latest book, Nation, a non-Discworld standalone YA novel was published in October of 2008 and was an instant New York Times and London Times bestseller. Regarded as one of the most significant contemporary English-language satirists, Pratchett has won numerous literary awards, was named an Officer of the British Empire “for services to literature” in 1998, and has received four honorary doctorates from the Universities of Warwick, Portsmouth, Bath, and Bristol. His acclaimed novels have sold more than 55 million copies (give or take a few million) and have been translated into 36 languages. Terry Pratchett lived in England with his family, and spent too much time at his word processor. Some of Terry's accolades include: The Carnegie Medal, Locus Awards, the Mythopoetic Award, ALA Notable Books for Children, ALA Best Books for Young Adults, Book Sense 76 Pick, Prometheus Award and the British Fantasy Award.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The almost pitched animated film
    Reviewed in Canada on February 12, 2025
    Verified Purchase
    Recommended by John Musker to me, apparently was pitched to be an animated film but never fell through. While I never read any of the other disc saga, the book is easy to follow and stands on its own fine enough. The special cover was a selling point for myself, a well-loved and designed cover is my weakness. Terry's works are for mature readers (teen and up recommended) while also being simple enough to follow and get to the point.

    Any Pratchett book is worth reading. This edition completes my whole set in hardcover. The book, although smaller than the usual, has superior binding and even comes with an attached ribbon bookmark. Again, postal services took their own sweet time with delivery since I had notice that the book was shipped within two days after ordering.

    “Death was standing behind a lectern, poring over a map. He looked at Mort as if he wasn’t entirely there.
    Yᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴠᴇɴ'ᴛ ʜᴇᴀʀᴅ ᴏғ ᴛʜᴇ Bᴀʏ Oғ Mᴀɴᴛᴇ, ʜᴀᴠᴇ ʏᴏᴜ? he said.
    “No, sir,” said Mort.
    Fᴀᴍᴏᴜs sʜɪᴘᴡʀᴇᴄᴋ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ.
    “Was there?”
    Tʜᴇʀᴇ ᴡɪʟʟ ʙᴇ, said Death, ɪғ I ᴄᴀɴ ғɪɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴀᴍɴ ᴘʟᴀᴄᴇ.” .
    Death is fearsome, ruthless and a cat lover plus he has a loyal mount by the name..... Binky. Death comes for all of us, and when he came for Mort, he offered him a job. .
    The first book in the Death series is hilarious in the quintessential Terry Pratchett style. Death is my favourite character from Discworld. For people who have never read the Discworld books or are intimidated, Mort is a great place to start. Enjoy!! I have to go and murder some CURRY.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely GORGEOUS edition!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2025
    Verified Purchase
    I've been slowly collecting the US paperback editions of Terry Pratchett's Discworld series all year, but when I saw the UK hardcover editions... I knew I had to splurge on my favorites. Mort has always been one of my favorite stories of the series, and this edition is absolutely gorgeous. A much more instagrammable cover than some of the older designs for sure!

    Shipping from the UK (I assume) took so long, I actually forgot that I had ordered it.. which made it a very pleasant surprise when it showed up. I now wish I had waited and ordered all of the Discworld stories in this hardcover collection!

    He pedido cinco libros de la misma edición y todos han venido con golpes y con las solapas gastadas o rayadas. Los he devuelto todos. Una lástima porque son muy bonitos, pero si compro un artículo a precio de nuevo, lo quiero nuevo. Si te decides por ésta edición espero que tengas más suerte que yo.
