Resumen del Editor

Brought to you by Penguin.

The audiobook of Eric 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.

Eric is the Discworld's only demonology hacker. Pity he's not very good at it.

All he wants is his three wishes granted. Nothing fancy—to be immortal, rule the world, have the most beautiful woman in the world fall madly in love with him, the usual stuff.

But instead of a tractable demon, he calls up Rincewind, probably the most incompetent wizard in the universe, and the extremely intractable and hostile form of travel accessory known as the Luggage.

With them on his side, Eric's in for a ride through space and time that is bound to make him wish (quite fervently) again—this time that he'd never been born.

Eric is the fourth 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

Re-enthused

So great to hear the voices of Rinswind and Death from the 1st books again.
The story is short but entertaining and funny and brilliantly performed, doing Pratchett's work the justice it deserves .

Wows

Colin Morgan is one of the best book actors I've ever heard. He hops from his natural burr to each one of the characters with breathtaking skill, liveliness, and precision -- and he makes it sound effortless. He's absolutely amazing.

I've always thought "Eric" was an outstanding romp. It's even better in this version. Enjoy!

Another fun read!

This was a more basic plot and was easy to breeze through, but I'm so glad the book is a return to Rincewind after the Dark Dimensions. This book is a good setup for more Discworld. As always, it was a fun read.

Welcome back Rincewind

keeps Rincewind’s arch alive, with a solid launch for more stand alone novels in the Discworld Verse.

Great production

Great book and production. It is just a bit expensive for such a short book.

Excellent performance

All good! Hate having to write reviews though. Want to start listening to the next book. Love Colin’s accent.

Dense

it's the shortest discworld book I've listened to but is so full of story, it seems like days.

Brilliant, as expected!

Colin Morgan is as brilliant as always, as are Bill Nighy and Peter Serafinowicz. The casting was superb for the Rincewind series. The quality of these new recordings is consistently impressive, and Pratchett's writing is as magnificent as ever, so you know you're guaranteed to enjoy this book.

Needed Nigel Planer

The book is ok, very short though. Narration should be by Nigel however as it just doesn't seem right otherwise.

A little bit goes a long way

Having listened to the original audio book series for a few years now, this take on Rincewind is more true to life to how I envisioned. It is new, different, and fresh. A delightful listen.
