The Colour of Magic, the first novel in Terry Pratchett's wildly imaginative Discworld series, takes the listener on a remarkable journey. The magical planet of Discworld is supported by four massive elephants who stand on the back of the Great A'Tuin, a giant turtle swimming slowly through the mysterious interstellar gulf. An eccentric expedition sets out to explore the planet, encountering dragons who only exist if you believe in them, and, of course, 'The Edge' of the planet.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Histoire5 out of 5 stars 1
The mining ship El Cavador is far out from Earth, in the deeps of the Kuiper Belt, beyond Pluto. Other mining ships, and the families that live on them, are few and far between this far out. So when El Cavador’s telescopes pick up a fast-moving object coming in-system, it’s hard to know what to make of it. It’s massive and moving at a significant fraction of the speed of light.
El Cavador has other problems. Their systems are old and failing. The family is getting too big for the ship. There are claim-jumping corporate ships bringing Asteroid Belt tactics to the Kuiper Belt.

Twenty years ago, it was as if someone turned on a light. The future blazed into existence with each deliberate word that William Gibson laid down. The winner of Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick Awards, Neuromancer didn't just explode onto the science fiction scene - it permeated into the collective consciousness, culture, science, and technology.Today, there is only one science fiction masterpiece to thank for the term "cyberpunk," for easing the way into the information age and Internet society.

Humanity has colonized the planets - interstellar travel is still beyond our reach, but the solar system has become a dense network of colonies. But there are tensions - the mineral-rich outer planets resent their dependence on Earth and Mars and the political and military clout they wield over the Belt and beyond. Now, when Captain Jim Holden's ice miner stumbles across a derelict, abandoned ship, he uncovers a secret that threatens to throw the entire system into war.

Description

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. Join in the search for the key to their closed-in, comatose world in this eighth fantastical Discworld novel.

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.

A continuous joy
There are very few books that deserve to be revised. Guards Guards, the first of the Night Watch Discworld novels is one of these few. With the classic performance of Nigel Planer it felt like bounching into an old and beloved friend with whom one has lost contact many years ago. Planer's voice and the late Sir Terry Pratchett's "serious" humour still makes an excellent escape from the rush and turmoil of everyday life. This audiobook is a golden oldie to be revisited every once and again.

What great fun !
Where does Guards! Guards! rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It is definitely one of the better books. It rolls along with the occasional laugh out loud segment and frequent guffaws.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Its hard not to like all the characters. Pratchett develops his characters as if they were real people. I do like Sam Vimes though. He's an interesting mix of the alcoholic veteran and the suddenly energetic action hero - surprising himself as much as the reader.
What does Nigel Planer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Inflection, accents and delivery pace all bring the characters to life and the events are vested with excitement you might not discover just reading it yourself. There are very few readers I think I'd trust with a Discworld book and Nigel is great.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Not especially. This is a light tale that gallops along exuding fun, humour and wrapped around a cracking good story.
Any additional comments?
Yes. As much as I admire Nigel Planer, I do wish the voice he used for Sam Vimes had suited the character a little better. The voice is a little nasal and somewhat dull. Vimes is many things but he's certainly not stupid.

My favorite book.
It's my favorite book, so sue me. I know Pratchett has written better books, Fifth Elephant, Nights Watch, Hat Full of Sky, Jingo, Small Gods, Making Money. But Guards! Guards! is still my favorite.

Simple story easy for kids to understand and enjoy. Humor with some moral nuggets (a spoonful of humor helps the moral medicine go down).

Great fun!
The style is noticeably different from The Colour of Magic; Guards! Guards! is a bit darker, and less in your face about subversion of tropes. It also has some decently dark commentary on humanity towards the end. The story is thoroughly entertaining, and the narration is great. Note that there are a few spots where the audio does odd things, I think only three, maybe four places one word disappeared. No big issue. Well worth the time and money, and I will certainly get the rest, to find out what happens to Carrot, Nobby, Vimes, Colon, and the orangutan librarian.

Amazing story, improvable audio
After having read all Discworld books on paper this was my first audiobook by T. P. Let's get the obvious stuff out of the way - it is amazingly written, the characters are amazing and even though I knew what was happening since I read it before I was hooked all the way through. Now for some criticism - while I do like the voice of the reader I do not agree with some of the choices he made regarding character voices - especially with the knowledge of having read all books myself. Vetinari for example sounds like a bloated old man and vimes like he has a constant cold. Additionally some audio issues plague the book. Multiple pauses where I thought the app had shut down, once even fading out the narrator just to repeat the last phrases again afterwards. It sounds very weird. I would still recommend it!

Great story, editing needs work
Guards! Guards! is a great book and listening to the Discworld characters come to life is a treat. If you are looking to get into the series, this book is a good place to start. The recording is decent, with distinctive voices for each character, but the editing is very spotty in places. Lines are sometimes cut off before the end of the last word, the pause between chapters is very long and, in one case, the narration fades out. The faded-out part is repeated when the narration starts up again, but all in all the audio could have done with a more careful editor.
