Batman: Nightwalker (DC Icons series)

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Batman: Nightwalker by Marie Lu, read by Will Damron.

Returning home from his lavish eighteenth birthday party, Bruce Wayne stops a criminal's getaway - disobeying the police and crashing his car during the chase.

Sentenced to community service in Gotham City's Arkham Asylum, he encounters some of the the city's most dangerous and mentally disturbed criminals. Among these, Bruce meets the intriguing Madeleine who has ties to the Nightwalker gang that is terrorizing Gotham City.

She's a mystery Bruce has to unravel but can he trust her? The Nightwalkers target the rich, and Bruce's name is next on their list.

Reviews

Epic

—— Daily Mail

Not since Roald Dahl have children filled their shelves so compulsively

—— The Times

He is a wonderful storyteller, immersed in his own kingdom

—— Guardian

Charming in every sense of the word. Beautifully written and at times highly comic, it is an extraordinary achievement

—— Books for Keeps

Sure to be as popular with both children and adults as all his other books

—— Croydon Advertiser

Lively wit, sly wisdom and compelling narratives

—— Leicester Mercury

Pratchett's usual mix of uproarious comedy and deceptively serious thought

—— Southern Daily Echo

He's probably the funniest writer in English today . . . great themes with huge doses of comedy

—— South Wales Evening Post

Funny and winning as ever

—— Nottingham Evening Post

Crackles with energy and humour

—— Leicester Mercury

From the shadow of dementia, a brilliant novel shines: Terry Pratchett's last book is a funny, fearless farewell . . . This is a book worth reading twice in quick succession.

—— Christopher Stevens , Daily Mail

A joyful sign-off from a master of fantasy fiction . . . High-octane literary enjoyment.

—— Nicholas Tucker , Independent

Terry Pratchett was never so witty, direct and generous as in this, his final Discworld novel.

—— Amanda Craig , Guardian

The Shepherd’s Crown is a sometimes sad, often funny and eminently suitable testament to the life and career of Terry Pratchett.

—— David Barnett , Independent

A crowning achievement for Terry Pratchett and his Discworld . . . This is a book for all ages, the tour de force of one of the English language’s greatest authors, who, in the midst of encroaching darkness and facing so many terrors of his own, has contrived to astound us one last time with his craft.

—— The Conversation

Pratchett's final work is a tour de force of compassion, great wit, and gleeful storytelling.

—— Publishers Weekly (starred review)

A worthy crown to Terry Pratchett’s phenomenal artistic achievement.

—— Michael Dirda , Washington Post

The last Discworld offering is a poignant farewell, both to Pratchett's readership and to his extraordinary world.

—— Imogen Russell Williams , Metro

As ever in Pratchett's work, empathy and compassion are foregrounded. With its humour and humaneness, it reminds us, too, that its author, as Tiffany says of her deceased friend, 'is . . . was . . . unfollowable.'

—— James Lovegrove , Financial Times

Something to treasure

—— Kirkus Reviews

Funny, sad and extremely moving . . . most will likely consider it one of the strongest, and certainly one of the most – possibly the most – moving [of the Discworld novels].

—— Juliette Harrisson , Den of Geek
