Reaper Man

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

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

Death has to happen. That's what bein' alive is all about. You're alive, and then you're dead. It can't just stop happening.

But it can. And it has.

Death is missing, presumed... 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Which leads to the kind of chaos you always get when an important public service is withdrawn.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.

About the Author

Terry Pratchett was the acclaimed creator of the global bestselling Discworld series, the first of which, The Colour of Magic, was published in 1983. In all, he was the author of over fifty bestselling books which have sold over 100 million copies worldwide. His novels have been widely adapted for stage and screen, and he was the winner of multiple prizes, including the Carnegie Medal. He was awarded a knighthood for services to literature in 2009, although he always wryly maintained that his greatest service to literature was to avoid writing any. www.terrypratchettbooks.com
