About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The audiobook of The Last Continent is read by Colin Morgan (Merlin; Testament of Youth; Belfast). 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.

'Anything you do in the past changes the future. The tiniest little actions have huge consequences. You might tread on an ant now and it might entirely prevent someone from being born in the future.'

Rincewind, inept wizard and reluctant hero, has found himself magically stranded on the Discworld's last continent.

It's hot. It's dry. There was this thing once called The Wet, which no one believes in any more. Practically everything that's not poisonous is venomous. But it's the best bloody place in the world, all right?

And in a few days, it will die. The only thing standing between the last continent and wind-blown doom is Rincewind, and he can't even spell wizard. Still...no worries, eh?

he Last Continent is the sixth book in the Wizards series, but you can listen to the Discworld novels in any order. The first book in the Discworld series—The Colour of Magic—was published in 1983. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this.

Love the story but could’ve done with less voices

I’m a huge fan of Terry and have listened to the older version of this audiobook several times. I appreciate the better recording quality but feel like the narrator got carried away with the weirdness of the voices. Still worth the listen, but I prefer the older one myself.

Love Pratchett

Sometimes it was difficult to understand. Accents and "old" intonation. But worth the effort.

I love Pratchett

Pratchett is hilarious as always. So much wit that I have listened to it twice to catch what I missed the first time.

So much fun

I've listened to the old audiobooks, and now I'm listening to these new ones. They are indeed different, but I have to say that I'm not in the least disappointed by the performance. Actually, I think it's quite brilliant. Just pointing this out because some reviews rate the performance badly because they are different from the old ones. As far as the story goes, one of the better Rincewind books. Rincewind's saga is not my favourite in the discworld, but the story was quite enjoyable and a lot of fun.

Rincewind in Australiaish.

The Lady is truly utilizing her piece. other gods appear in this book though having nothing to do with her previous games. Arch chancellor Ritcully thinks to find Rincewind to get the proper name of the Librarian, so they can cure him of a metamorphic addition to his cold.

Very Fun!

Another entertaining read! Very worth the listen, as Colin Morgan really delivers on the aussie 'sound' of many characters. Excellent shenanigans throughout.

A fabulous addition to Rincewind’s story

One of the best installments of the Wizards/Rincewind’s story of the Discworld series!! Funny, engaging, and with great characters. Rincewind has grown a lot since we met him, and again manages to save the world.
