About the book

'He is screamingly funny. He is wise. He has style' Daily Telegraph

DEATH IS MISSING - PRESUMED... ER... GONE.

Which leads to the kind of chaos you always get when an important public service is withdrawn.

Meanwhile, on a little farm far, far away, a tall, dark stranger is turning out to be really good with a scythe. There's a harvest to be gathered in...

Readers can't put down Reaper Man:

'The second DEATH is as hilarious as the first one, this time positioning the friendly reaper in a perfect setting for having philosophical and deep thoughts about human nature and life in general' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

'This book is full of really profound messages about life and death and making your life count, if only by giving others some of your time . . . due to the impeccable combination of profound messages, silly adventures and laugh-out-loud moments, it is simply perfect' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

'This book does contain DEATH, the librarian, the Wizards and many more and is in my humble opinion (be it h'ever so 'umble) the best so far, a true masterpiece of literature' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

'Behind the story of Death being fired for having developed a personality, there's a clever little parable about what it means to be human, to be alive' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

'Oh my goodness the ending to this book is sensational. I cried. I cried A LOT . . . Brilliantly funny in parts, with a deep look at life and death, cities and people. It asks the big questions, the heavy questions. Yes, there is humour and silliness, too, but it is a very deep, meaningful book' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

'This entry in the series has EVERYTHING - action, adventure, thrills, chills, and romance, in addition to the usual amount of rampant silliness one has come to expect from Pratchett' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

    Death has a try at human life, learns what it means to dream and fear. Oh and also he falls a little bit in love while chaos unfolds on the disc. Another brillant book in the Discworld series. Death is such a fun character and I really enjoy him as a main protagonist. As always there were fun and wierd side charcters along with the usual Terry-Pratchett-humour. Also it is great when characters from other books in the discworld series pop up or you discover connections to characters and events you previously hadn‘t known about. I had a few of such moments in this book.

    Der perfekte Einstieg in die Scheibenwelt. Tod - der Hauptprotagonist, der in die Rente geht und unter den Bewohner von Ankh-Mopork langsam vermenschlicht, hat soviel trockenen Humor, Witz und Biss, das man einfach nur immer wieder Lachen muss. Für mich einer der besten Werke von Pratchett und ein gelungener Einstieg in die Scheibenwelt.

    Von Tod und Untoten

    Ich habe Pratchett erst sehr spät entdeckt und bin sehr froh, ihn nun nach und nach lesen zu können.. Ich liebe alles daran, den skurrilen Humor, die augenzwinkernde Menschlichkeit aller Figuren, aber am meisten den seelenheilenden Effekt den diese Geschichten auf mich haben.
