They say there are only two things you can count
on ...
But that was before DEATH started
pondering the existential. Of course, the last thing
anyone needs is a squeamish Grim Reaper and soon his
Discworld bosses have sent him off with best wishes and a
well-earned gold watch. Now DEATH is having the time of
his life, finding greener pastures where he can put his
scythe to a whole new use.
But like every cutback in
an important public service, DEATH's demise soon leads to
chaos and unrest -- literally, for those whose time was
supposed to be up, like Windle Poons. The oldest geezer in
the entire faculty of Unseen University -- home of magic,
wizardry, and big dinners -- Windle was looking forward to
a wonderful afterlife, not this boring been-there-done-
that routine. To get the fresh start he deserves, Windle
and the rest of Ankh-Morpork's undead and underemployed
set off to find DEATH and save the world for the living
(and everybody else, of course).
