What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
Over 1 million Discworld audiobooks sold – discover the extraordinary universe of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld like never before.
'A lie can run round the world before the truth has got its boots on'
William de Worde is the accidental editor of the Discworld's first newspaper.
Now he must cope with the traditional perils of a journalist's life - people who want him dead, a recovering vampire with a suicidal fascination for flash photography, some more people who want him dead in a different way and, worst of all, the man who keeps begging him to publish pictures of his humorously shaped potatoes.
William just wants to get at THE TRUTH. Unfortunately, everyone else wants to get at William. And it's only the third edition...
The Discworld novels can be read in any order but The Truth is a standalone novel.

The 25th Discworld novel

'Other writers are mining the rich seam of comic fantasy that Pratchett first unearthed, but what keeps Pratchett on top is - quite literally - the way he tells them.'

If you like Terry Pratchett you will love this. The narrators are brilliant, they bring the book to life. It had me laughing out loud on numerous occasions. I particularly loved Otto the vampire! I shall certainly listen to it again sometime.
