'You cannot interfere with fate. Who are you to judge who should live and who should die?'

Death comes to us all. When he came to Mort, he offered him a job.

Death is the Grim Reaper of the Discworld, a black-robed skeleton with a scythe who ushers souls into the next world. He is also fond of cats and endlessly baffled by humanity.

Soon Death is yearning to experience what humanity really has to offer, but to do that, he'll need to hire some help.

It's an offer Mort can't refuse. As Death's apprentice he'll have free board, use of the company horse - and being dead isn't compulsory.

It's a dream job - until Mort falls in love with Death's daughter, Ysabell, and discovers that your boss can be a killer on your love life . . .

Mort is the first book in the Death series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.

Reviews for Mort: (Discworld Novel 4) (Discworld Novels)
Pratchett is a comic genius
Daily Express
Pratchett's humour takes logic past the point of absurdity and round again, but it is his unexpected insights into human morality that make the Discworld series stand out
Times Educational Supplement
Cracking dialogue, compelling illogic and unchained whimsy... Pratchett has a subject and a style that is very much his own
The Sunday Times
He is screamingly funny. He is wise. He has style
Sunday Telegraph
