About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Over 1 million Discworld audiobooks sold – discover the extraordinary universe of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld like never before.
This audiobook is narrated by Richard Coyle, who starred as Moist von Lipwig in the television adaptation of Going Postal. 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.
'ALWAYS PUSH YOUR LUCK BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE WOULD PUSH IT FOR YOU'
Imprisoned in Ankh-Morpork, con artist Moist von Lipwig is offered a choice: to be executed or to accept a job as the city's Postmaster General.
It's a tough decision, but he's already survived one hanging and isn't in the mood to try it again.
The Post Office is down on its luck: beset by mountains of undelivered mail, eccentric employees, and a dangerous secret order. To save his skin, Moist will need to restore the postal service to its former glory, with the help of tough talking activist Adora Belle Dearheart. Who happens to be very attractive, in an 'entire womanful of anger' kind of way.
But there's new technology to compete against and an evil chairman who will stop at nothing to delay Ankh-Morpork's post for good...
The first book in the Discworld series-The Colour of Magic-was published in 1983. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this.
'One of the best expressions of his unstoppable flow of comic invention' The Times

Loved it
Such a great performance by Richard Coyle. It’s so great to hear the voices of Vetinari, Vimes and Igor done so well. Great story as always.

Phenomenal!
Absolutely brilliant performance by Richard Coyle.
As a Pratchett fan of over 30 years, and having read all the Discworld books (at least once) I was absolutely delighted to hear almost all the characters voiced so similarly to how I'd imagined them.
The pace was good, the story was clear, the satire was captured wonderfully. It was an absolute pleasure to listen.

Love the new version
One of my favourites from discworld but I wasn't fond of the previous version, the narration didnt capture the charm. This was superbly read and I will be happy to relisten to this audiobook any time.
