Explore the crazy, creepy land called Discworld, where you'll discover that the dragons aren't asleep or dead - they're dormant, packed in like huge, scaly sardines.

Perfect story, perfect narrative tone
Stephen Briggs brings Pratchett's work to life in his reliably grounded and sensitive style.
Pratchett's writing finds the balance between whimsical and profound, each sentence bringing a new twist to scene, characters and world. This particular story is the first I read featuring the night watch and I have been hooked on the adventures of Captain Vimes ever since. He embodies the classic hero archetype, with this rags to riches tale. But still manages to bring a fresh feel to an old premise. The story is both fully committed to itself and delightfully self aware. It is elegant, hilarious and perfect in every way.
The narrative voice is comforting and easy to listen to. Clearly a lot of thought has gone into choice of accent and the characters voices. If you follow Briggs' work, which I do, you will find he keeps these voices and accents consistent across different episodes of disc world. I am always surprised by how a narrator can bring up so many details images simply by how they use their voice. Briggs is a master. I highly recommend.
