Kurzbeschreibung
From bestselling author Terry Pratchett, the world's foremost practitioner of satire and send-up, comes the 11th book in the Discworld series.Beschreibung
What if Death is forced to retire? What happens then? Death now has time - -like all living creatures. And he is having the time of his life. He's finally pondering some of the P's and Q's of the RIP business. But the last thing the Discworld needs is a squeamish Grim Reaper, which leads to the kind of chaos you always get when an important public service is withdrawn. Windle Poons, oldest wizard in the entire faculty of the Unseen University - home of magic, wizardry and big dinners - was going to die. But he's decided he doesn't like the afterlife. There is no after. So he comes back, much to the regret of his fellow wizards at the Unseen University. And, on a little farm far, far away, a tall dark stranger is turning out to be really good with a scythe.Klappentext

Now Deathis having the time of his life, findinggreener pastures where he can put hisscythe to a whole new use.But like every cutback in an importantpublic service, Death's demise soon leads to chaos and unrest?literally, for those whose time was supposed to be up, like Windle Poons.
