Will the most unlikely hero in all of Discworld save the universe once again . . . or has his luck finally run out in this wildly funny installment in Sir Terry Pratchett´s internationally bestselling series, a hilarious mix of magic, mayhem, and Luggage.
Once upon a time, there was an eighth son of an eighth son who was, of course, a wizard. As if that wasn´t complicated enough, said wizard then had seven sons. And then he had an eighth son--a wizard squared (that´s all the math, really)--who, of course, was a source of magic, a sourcerer.
Unseen University, the most magical establishment on the Discworld, has finally got its wish: the emergence of a wizard more powerful than they´ve ever seen. But be careful what you wish for . . .
As the drastic consequences of sourcery begin to unfold, it´s up to one unlikely wizard to save them. Rincewind has survived a string of misadventures, including falling off the edge of the world--which is no mean feat when it´s flying through space on the back of a turtle and held up by four elephants. Now, he must take the University´s most precious artifact, the very embodiment of magic itself, and deliver it halfway across the Disc to prevent a mathematically blessed sourcerer from leading the wizards to dominate all of Discworld.
Can Rincewind and his tiny band, including the carnivorous Luggage, stave off the Apocalypse?
