'YOU CANNOT INTERFERE WITH FATE. WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE WHO SHOULD LIVE AND WHO SHOULD DIE?'

Death comes to us all. When he came to Mort, he offered him a job.

Death is the Grim Reaper of the Discworld, a black-robed skeleton with a scythe who ushers souls into the next world. He is also fond of cats and endlessly baffled by humanity. Soon Death is yearning to experience what humanity really has to offer, but to do that, he'll need to hire some help.
It's an offer Mort 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 a dream job-until Mort falls in love with Death's daughter, Ysabell, and discovers that your boss can be a killer on your love life...

The Discworld novels can be enjoyed in any order, but Mort is the first book in the Death series.

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

Pratchett is a comic genius

Pratchett's humour takes logic past the point of absurdity and round again, but it is his unexpected insights into human morality that make the Discworld series stand out

Cracking dialogue, compelling illogic and unchained whimsy... Pratchett has a subject and a style that is very much his own

He is screamingly funny. He is wise. He has style

Mort!

One of my favorite Pratchett novels, done very very well by audible! I'll listen to this again soon

I love the characters in the Discworld series!

The voice actors do an amazing job with the different voices. They quickly engulf you in the story.

Charming and witty story with great pace

The performance is good throughout (her general narration is really fantastic), but a few character voices she used are far too exaggerated and became grating during my listen.

Pratchett was a funny guy. And the voice actors were fantastic.

The voice actors were incredible. The lady reading the main narrator did a fantastic job creating the voices for the characters and being expressive nonetheless.

excellent voice acting

The voice actors were fantastic. Beautiful done, colorful scenes. Made the authors work come alive.
