I feel blessed to have read so many of his books and grateful for a magical place like the disc world existence. Terry Pratchett books have accompanied my life for many years, making me laugh, think and even cry at times. I read this book many years ago and really enjoyed it. Thoroughly enjoyed this book! - it gave me a warm and happy feeling. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this. The first book in the Discworld series - The Colour of Magic - was published in 1983. The Discworld novels can be read in any order but Pyramids is a standalone. But this one might just bankrupt the kingdom, and warp the very fabric of time and space itself. As tradition dictates, the new king must build a monumental pyramid to honour his dead father. Teppic returns home to the small, penniless kingdom of Djelibeybi to take his place as ruler. Which just so happens to be at the Assassins' Guild.īut when Teppic's father dies suddenly, fate takes him away from assassination to something far more unsavoury: politics.

Young Prince Teppic is sent far away from his desert homeland to the city of Ankh-Morpork for the best education money can buy. ''LOOK AFTER THE DEAD,' SAID THE PRIESTS, 'AND THE DEAD WOULD LOOK AFTER YOU.''

Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan. BAFTA and Golden Globe award-winning actor Bill Nighy ( Love Actually Pirates of the Caribbean Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) reads the footnotes, and Peter Serafinowicz ( Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace Shaun of the Dead) stars as the voice of Death. The audiobook of Pyramids is narrated by Alfred Enoch, known for playing Dean Thomas in the Harry Potter film series, and Wes Gibbins in How To Get Away With Murder.
