About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Over 1 million Discworld audiobooks sold – discover the extraordinary universe of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld like never before
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. 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. Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan.
'"LOOK AFTER THE DEAD," SAID THE PRIESTS, "AND THE DEAD WOULD LOOK AFTER YOU."'
Young Prince Teppic is sent far away from his desert homeland to the city of Ankh-Morpork for the best education money can buy. Which just so happens to be at the Assassins' Guild.
But when Teppic's father dies suddenly, fate takes him away from assassination to something far more unsavoury: politics. Teppic returns home to the small, penniless kingdom of Djelibeybi to take his place as ruler.
It isn't easy, being a teenage pharaoh. As tradition dictates, the new king must build a monumental pyramid to honour his dead father. But this one might just bankrupt the kingdom, and warp the very fabric of time and space itself...
The Discworld novels can be listened to in any order but Pyramids is a standalone.
The first book in the Discworld series - The Colour of Magic - was published in 1983. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this.

Pyramids was less well known to me having read it just once before many years ago. The narrator was excellent- never over done, the characters shone through and his performance did not overwhelm the narrative or Sir Terry’s voice. I could just imagine him typing and chuckling over the words as he wrote. To me it was like I was coming home and it is now one of my favourite audible books of the new series.
I await with anticipation for the Watch books to be released!
I would love to hear Alfred Enoch narrate more of his books. It was so very well done and brilliantly performed. Soothing, witty and poignant. Thank you to all who made this happen. I still have a smile on my face!
Thoroughly enjoyed this book! - it gave me a warm and happy feeling.
