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.
The audiobook of The Last Continent 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.
'Anything you do in the past changes the future. The tiniest little actions have huge consequences. You might tread on an ant now and it might entirely prevent someone from being born in the future.'
Rincewind, inept wizard and reluctant hero, has found himself magically stranded on the Discworld's last continent.
It's hot. It's dry. There was this thing once called The Wet, which no one believes in any more. Practically everything that's not poisonous is venomous. But it's the best bloody place in the world, all right?
And in a few days, it will die. The only thing standing between the last continent and wind-blown doom is Rincewind, and he can't even spell wizard. Still . . . no worries, eh?
The Last Continent is the sixth 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.

Disappointing.

When we read these wonderful books, we imagine the voices from the careful way Sir Terry wrote. Unfortunately the narration generally let a great setting down.
Horrible fake XXXX (Australian) accents.

My rating is all about Penguin’s mystifying decision to produce these updated recordings using several narrators instead of just one.
Having them overlapping each other with their own “theme jingle” constantly being played throughout the reading.
I did it to be completely unnecessary, interrupts the natural flow of the story and stops it being something you’re able to close your eyes, relax and listen to.
For me, Stephen Briggs’ original performances of several Discworld books remain the gold standard, despite the audio quality not being up to modern standards.
I genuinely couldn’t listen to more than 5mins in, the interruptions were so annoying.
Waste of a credit :-(
