Synopsis

The Disc’s very existence is about to be threatened by a strange new blight: the world’s first tourist, upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land. Unfortunately, the person charged with maintaining that survival in the face of robbers, mercenaries and, well, Death, is a spectacularly inept wizard…

What the critics say

One of the best and funniest English authors alive
- Independent

Like Jonathan Swift, Pratchett uses his other world to hold up a distorting mirror to our own, and like Swift he is a satirist of enormous talent... incredibly funny... compulsively readable
- The Times

He would be amusing in any form and his spectacular inventiveness makes the Discworld series one of the perennial joys of modern fiction
- Mail on Sunday
