Über diesen Titel
Brought to you by Penguin.
The audiobook of Raising Steam is narrated by Richard Coyle, who starred as Moist von Lipwig in the television adaptation of Going Postal. 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.
'THE WORLD LIVES BETWEEN THOSE WHO SAY IT CANNOT BE DONE AND THOSE WHO SAY THAT IT CAN...IT'S JUST A MATTER OF THINKING CREATIVELY.'
Moist von Lipwig is a con man turned civil servant. As head of the Royal Bank and Post Office of Ankh-Morpork, he doesn't really want or need another job. But when the Patrician Lord Vetinari gives you a task, you do it or suffer the consequences. In Moist's case, death.
A brand-new invention has come to the city: a steam locomotive named Iron Girder, to be precise. With the railway's introduction and rapid expansion, Vetinari enlists Moist to represent the government and keep things on track.
But as with all new technology, some people have objections, and Moist will have to use every trick in his arsenal to keep the trains running....
The first book in the Discworld series-The Colour of Magic-was published in 1983. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this.

Why not Stephen Briggs?
The book as such is good. It's a Discworld novel. Not the best but that's okay.
However, the story is killed by how it was read and produced.
Sadly, someone thought it's a good idea to play an utterly annoying sound effect before and after each and every footnote. This is disrupting the flow of the story in some chapters so much, it's infuriating. Why those passages also had to be read by another person is beyond me. That's just making it even worse.
I'm sure there are reasons why the Stephen Briggs version of this audiobook is not available in the German Audible store. But for the love of all of the Discworld deities... Please, sort it out Amazon!
The person reading this version seems more concerned to show off what he learned in dramatic reading 101 than to do Pratchett's words justice. Sure, that's a matter of taste, but I certainly disliked it a lot.
