His best book IMO
An early ish Discworld book and the first to introduce Death.
Because of the vast number of Discworld books written there is a lot of crossover in the later books and a lot of folklore building. The actual stories sometimes suffer for this but not in Mort. It works as a standalone as well as part of the series.
I'm so glad and lucky to have a signed copy.
RIP Terry Pratchett.

Two arcs finish the line, the first reveals what happens to Spock prime in the Kelvin time line as he struggles against a threat to the remaining Vulcan population. Exceedingly well done, Mike Johnson captures the voice of Leonard Nimoys Spock perfectly.

The last two stories are a crossover of sorts between the time line crews, and while its mostly fan service, its good fun fan service. Great stuff, I hope the next version of Trek is as consistent and solid.

I really enjoyed [Broken Realms(The Chronicles of Mara Lantern, Book1)] by [D.W. Moneypenny]. The combination of a real life disasters causing a crossover of dimensions was great. The character of Mara was intelligent and a little on the snarky side. The plot was very character centered and that drove the action. Sometimes there may have been too much detail of events but that was only a speed bump and nothing to really detract from the quality of the book.
