R.I.P Sir Terry Pratchett

Sir Terry Pratchett OBE 1948 – 2015

It is with immeasurable sadness that we announce that author Sir Terry Pratchett has died at the age of 66.

Larry Finlay, MD at Transworld Publishers: “I was deeply saddened to learn that Sir Terry Pratchett has died. The world has lost one of its brightest, sharpest minds.

In over 70 books, Terry enriched the planet like few before him. As all who read him know, Discworld was his vehicle to satirize this world: he did so brilliantly, with great skill, enormous humour and constant invention.

Terry faced his Alzheimer’s disease (an ‘embuggerance’, as he called it) publicly and bravely. Over the last few years, it was his writing that sustained him. His legacy will endure for decades to come.

Had 2 signed book replys fro Sir Terry over the years....Sad loss.

A very inventive writer and a generous man. A very sad loss.

I was in Forbidden Planet in London last week when they had a bit of an obituary to him on the wall.  I could not believe it as I had no idea he had passed away.  R.I.P. Sir Terry Pratchett.

Really sad news. I loved Discoworld in the late 80's and early 90's and Bad Omens remains one of my favourite books.
