Reaper Man




The eleventh Discworld novel and second in the Death series - revamped with a fresh bold look targeting a new generation of fantasy fans.

'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 Which leads to the kind of chaos you always get when an important public service is withdrawn.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 . . .

'One taste, and you'll scour bookstores for more' Daily Mail

Reaper Man is the second book in the Death series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.

Praise for Reaper Man

'One taste, and you'll scour bookstores for more'

Daily Mail

'If you're an established fan, you'll enjoy this as much as the others; if you're new to Pratchett, what the hell took you so long?'

Time Out

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