Description
“Engaging, surreal satire. . . nothing short of magical.”–Chicago Tribune
What would happen without Death? The denizens of the Discworld are about to find out in this captivating entry in New York Times bestselling author Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series.
They say there are only two things you can count on: death and taxes. But that was before Death started pondering the existential. Now Death is facing his own demise, fired by the Auditors of Reality for developing a personality. Sentenced to live like everyone else, the entity formerly known as the Grim Reaper takes a new name and becomes a farmhand. He’s an expert with a scythe, after all.
Frolicking in greener pastures, Death is having the time of his life. For humanity though, Death’s loss leads to chaos, the kind that always arises when an important public service is cut. But what happens if Death doesn’t come for you? What do you do when your time is supposed to be up?
The undead can’t be left wandering about like lost souls–there’s no telling what might happen. Particularly when they discover that life really is only for the living . . .
