About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Over 1 million Discworld audiobooks sold – discover the extraordinary universe of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld like never before
The audiobook of Small Gods is narrated by the BAFTA award-winning actor and director Andy Serkis (The Lord of the Rings; Planet of the Apes). 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.
'You should do things because they're right. Not because gods say so. They might say something different another time.'
Religion is a competitive business in the Discworld. Everyone has their own opinion and their own gods, of every shape and size - all fighting for faith, followers, and a place at the top.
So when the great god Om accidentally manifests himself as a lowly tortoise, stripped of all divine power, it's clear he's become less important than he realised.
In such instances, you need an acolyte, and fast. Enter Brutha, the Chosen One - or at least the only One available. He wants peace, justice and love - but that's hard to achieve in a world where religion means power, and corruption reigns supreme...
'An intriguing satire on institutionalized religion corrupted by power . . .' Independent
'Deftly weaves themes of forgiveness, belief and spiritual regeneration' The Times
You can listen to the Discworld novels in any order, but Small Gods is a standalone.
The first book in the Discworld series - The Colour of Magic - was published in 1983. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this.

My first Terry Pratchett book…
This book is phenomenal and the performance by Andy Serkis elevates the writing to incredible levels. I would highly recommend this book. It is fantastic.

Instructional for gods big and small!
I have an autographed hardcover of Small Gods but it was an unexpected treat to experience Andy Serkis’ diverse performances of the narrative and characters - a master of the form! The story itself remains among my favourites and was among the fantasy works that helped shape my reality.

My first adventure into Discworld
I’ve been meaning to dip a toe in forever, and I’m so glad O did. Andy Serkis was an incredible guide, and I ca’t wait to see what else this universe has in store. I’m already in love.

new life into an already great story. but ...
sometimes the narration will bring you out of the story. vorbis in particular makes me think i'm listening to dune. it could be that when i first started collecting the audiobooks I was just used to Nigel planer and Stephen Briggs, but there just doesn't seem to be the same heart that is in other recordings.
