Publisher's Summary
Mort, like many teenagers, is gangly, unpromising, and struggling with a menial job - in his case, as Death's apprentice. He can barely handle his simple task of ushering souls out of Discworld, but he really screws up when he meets the beautiful Princess Keli, who is scheduled to be assassinated. Going against his boss's wishes, Mort kills Keli's assassin instead, which angers and interferes with Fate. But Mort's heroism seems to be for naught, since Discworld proceeds as though Keli had been killed, while Death has too much fun drinking and gambling to be any help. This is the fourth book in the Discworld series.

Great book, well narrated, very poor quality.
Terry Pratchett has written another great book. And as one of Nigel Planer’s early narrations, it is good. But the quality of the recording is very poor. The sound is grainy and muffled and it changes between chapters forcing me to adjust the volume several times during the book. There are also several skips and repeated sections.
I would still recommend the book for the story but be aware that the quality is not the best.

Very good read
The story is fantastic, and the manner in which it was read was great. I’ve listened to lots of books and this is one of the best and most fittingly read books. Very glad I purchased it.
