Mass market (rack) paperback. Glued binding. 255 p. Signet. Audience: General/trade. Humorously entertaining...subtly thought-provoking....Pratchett s Discworld books are filled with humor and with magic, but they're rooted in of all things real life and cold, hard reason. Chicago Tribune Bumbling wizard Rincewind and hapless tourist Twoflower have survived a host of misadventures...only to face annihilation as a red star hurtles towards the Discworld in this gloriously funny second installment in Sir Terry Pratchett s Discworld series (also the second book in the Wizards collection) It s just one of those days when nothing seems to go right and a most inopportune time for the first tourist ever to set foot in Discworld accompanied by the carnivorous Luggage to extend his already eventful vacation, even if it s not quite by choice. A monstrous red star is on a direct collision course with the Discworld and the future appears uncertain at best. Discworld needs a hero to save it from total destruction. Unfortunately, it s got the bumbling Rincewind, still recovering from the trauma of falling off the edge of the world. The alternative couldn t be much worse....
