Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
The audiobook of The Truth is narrated by Mathew Baynton, star of Ghosts, Yonderland and Horrible Histories. 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.
'A lie can run round the world before the truth can get its boots on.'
William de Worde has somehow found himself editor of Ankh-Morpork's first newspaper. Well, with a name like that…
Launched into the world of investigative journalism, alongside reporter Sacharissa Cripslock, William soon learns that the news is a risky business. For a start, his colleagues include a band of axe-wielding dwarfs and a recovering vampire with a life-threatening passion for flash photography.
It's a big news week: the most powerful man in the city has been arrested, leaving Ankh-Morpork without a leader. And a dangerous criminal organisation will do anything to control the story...
The Discworld novels can be read in any order but The Truth 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.

Brilliant
Took a while to get used to the voices after Stephen Briggs but after that it was flawless.

Baynton aces it!
Great performance from Baynton really enhances one of Pratchett's best novels. A great anti-elite polemic.

Excellent
One of my all-time favourites immaculately brought to life! I’d read the book twice as a young adult and yet found it just as entertaining as a much older person.

All Lies,…
This is a great book and I was sad to see it didn’t become its own series.

Fantastic
I thoroughly enjoyed this, due in no small part to Matthew Baynton’s wonderful narration, each character was uniquely voiced and brought to life.

Another classic. Not the best but still great.
Doesn’t quite match up to guards guards and a few other all time greats but still a great story.
