Eine zwielichtige Sekte mit dem Namen "Die aufgeklärten Brüder der völlig schwarzen Nacht" beschwört einen gewaltigen Drachen über Ankh Morpork herauf, der die Stadt in Schutt und Asche zu legen droht. Der Drache gerät außer Kontrolle, und nur die Stadtwache kann Ankh Morpork vor dem Untergang bewahren. Samuel Mumm und seine Männer haben alle Hände voll zu tun, bis von unvermuteter Seite Hilfe naht.

Bevor TOD in seinen wohlverdienten Urlaub aufbricht, stellt er den jungen Mort als Lehrling ein. Mort hat alle Hände voll zu tun: Überall auf der Scheibenwelt ist seine Sense gefragt, und es gehört zum guten Ton, dass Könige, Zauberer und andere wichtige Persönlichkeiten vor deren Ableben persönlich besucht werden. Doch dann trifft Mort auf eine junge Prinzessin, die Opfer eines Attentats werden soll. Mort rettet sie und bringt damit nicht nur TODs Plan, sondern das gesamte Gefüge der Scheibenwelt durcheinander.

Die junge Hexe Magrat Knoblauch steht kurz vor ihrer Vermählung mit dem ehemaligen Hofnarren Verence, der inzwischen König von Lancre geworden ist. Plötzlich sorgen einige übermütige Junghexen dafür, dass die Elfenkönigin Zugang zur Scheibenwelt bekommt. Es drohen Chaos und Unheil, denn Elfen sind alles andere als friedfertig. Oma Wetterwachs und Nanny Ogg nehmen den Kampf gegen die Elfen auf - unterstützt von Zauberern der Unsichtbaren Universität, einem Orang Utan und dem zweitbesten Liebhaber der Scheibenwelt.

Dichter Herbstnebel liegt über Ankh-Morpork, und in der Stadt geschehen seltsame Morde. Scheinbar grundlos werden ein Bäcker und ein Priester umgebracht. Auch auf den ansonsten unantastbaren Patrizier wird ein Giftanschlag verübt, den er aber überlebt. Die Verbrechen geben für Sir Samuel Mumm, den Kommandeur der Stadtwache, keinen Sinn. Die Spuren führen zu den Golems, willenlosen Geschöpfen aus Lehm, die immer nur arbeiten und noch nie Ärger machten. Doch jetzt haben sie offenbar damit begonnen, sich selbst aus dem Weg zu räumen.

In the beginning, there was nothing but endless flatness. Then came the Carpet.... That's the old story everyone knows and loves (even if they don't really believe it). But now the Carpet is home to many different tribes and peoples and there's a new story in the making. The story of Fray, sweeping a trail of destruction across the Carpet, and two brothers, who set out on an adventure to end all adventures.

It can take you to the top of the highest mountain or down to the bottom of the deepest depths of the sea. This where it took Doggins on his 'Awfully Big Adventure': a quest full of magic and flying machines. (And the world’s best joke - trust me, it’s hilarious.) It took three young inventors to the moon (where they may or may not have left a bottle of lemonade) and a caveman on a trip to the dentist. You can join them on these adventures, and many more, in this incredible collection of stories.... 

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Father Christmas's Fake Beard by Terry Pratchett, read by Julian Rhind-Tutt. Have you ever wanted Christmas to be different? Turkey and carols, presents and crackers - they all start to feel a bit...samey. How about a huge exploding mince pie, a pet abominable snowman, or a very helpful partridge in a pear tree? What if Father Christmas went to work at a zoo, or caused chaos in a toy store, or was even arrested for burglary!

Football has come to the ancient city of Ankh-Morpork - not the old fashioned, grubby pushing and shoving but the new, fast football with pointy hats for goalposts and balls that go gloing when you drop them. And now, the wizards of Unseen University must win a football match, without using magic, so they're in the mood for trying everything else. The prospect of the Big Match draws in a street urchin with a wonderful talent for kicking a tin can, a maker of jolly good pies, a dim but beautiful young woman who might just turn out to be the greatest fashion model there has ever been, and the mysterious Mr Nutt.

"Look after the dead," said the priests, "and the dead will look after you." Wise words in all probability, but a tall order when you have just become the pharaoh of a small and penniless country whose largesse, and indeed treasury, is unlikely to stretch to the building of a monumental pyramid to honour your dead father. And particularly when your only visible means of support is a recently acquired qualification from the Guild of Assassins.

Brought to you by Penguin. 'Don't put your trust in revolutions. They always come round again. That's why they're called revolutions. People die, and nothing changes.' For a policeman, there can be few things worse than a serial killer loose in your city. Except, perhaps, a serial killer who...

Sam Vimes is a man on the run. Yesterday he was a duke, a chief of police and the ambassador to the mysterious, fat-rich country of Uberwald. Now he has nothing but his native wit and the gloomy trousers of Uncle Vanya (don't ask). It's snowing. It's freezing. And if he can't make it through the...
