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.

Never thought of Om as a Scouser, but it's absolutely perfect - much like the rest of this audiobook

Brilliant
As always Terry Pratchett and his Discworld series is a brilliant listen. Andy Serkis is also a fantastic narrator. After hearing Peter Serafinowicz as Death I think I'll listen to Mort next ^_^

One of Pratchett's Best
One of the best Discworld novels, it's only a shame it's a standalone novel within the series. Serkis' reading is incredible too, he has the talent to switch easily between a pleasant, neutral narrator, and an exuberant rich character voice. Well worth a listen, I can't recommend it enough!

Brilliant telling of a wonderful book
Andy Serkis does a great job of bringing this tale to life - although a Liverpudlian God in the body of a turtle took me a little by surprise- and has given many happy hours listening. Excellent story by the master himself - Sir Terry Pratchett - and this version does not disappoint

Brilliant
Not so much an audiobook as a one -man radio play.
Andy Serkis was an inspired choice as narrator.
The best Discworld audiobook by far.
