Reaper Man

A paperback edition with the original cover art of the classic fantasy novel by Terry Pratchett, the second book in the Death series, part of the Discworld novels. 'One taste, and you'll scour bookstores for more' Daily Mail ‘So smart and funny - I can't recommend them highly enough’ 5-star reader review 'Inside every living person is a dead person waiting to get out.' Death has been fired by the Auditors of Reality for the heinous crime of developing . . . a personality. Sent to live like everyone else, Death takes a new name and begins working as a farmhand. He's got the scythe already, after all. And for humanity, Death is just . . . gone. Which leads to the kind of chaos you always get when an important public service is withdrawn. If Death doesn't come for you, then what are you supposed to do in the meantime? You can't have the undead wandering about like lost souls - there's no telling what might happen. Particularly when they discover that life really is only for the living . . . Reaper Man is the second book in the Death series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.

Martin 'One of those rare writers who appeals to everyone ’ Daily Express ‘One of the most consistently funny writers around’ Ben Aaronovitch ‘ Masterful and brilliant ’ Fantasy & Science Fiction ‘Pratchett uses his other world to hold up a distorting mirror to our own… he is a satirist of enormous talent ... incredibly funny ... compulsively readable' The Times ‘The best humorous English author since P.G. Wodehouse' The Sunday Telegraph ‘Nothing short of magical ’ Chicago Tribune 'Consistently funny , consistently clever and consistently surprising in its twists and turns' SFX ‘[Discworld is] compulsively readable, fantastically inventive , surprisingly serious exploration in story form of just about any aspect of our world… There's never been anything quite like it ’ Evening Standard
