More comic fantasy from Pratchett's Discworld (Men at Arms, 1996,
etc.) featuring another aspect of the unending strife between
humans, fates, and the god that "generally looked after thunder and
lightning, so from his point of view the only purpose of humanity
was to get wet or, in occasional cases, charred." This time, the
incompetent "wizard" Rincewind, hero of several of the earliest
Discworld wingdings, makes a reappearance, along with other
favorite characters such as the demented tourist, Twoflower, the
unpredictable, multilegged Luggage - apparently it's found a mate -
and Cohen the Barbarian. Fun, especially for those susceptible to
Pratchett-inspired nostalgia. (Kirkus Reviews)
MIGHTY BATTLES! REVOLUTION! DEATH! WAR! (AND HIS SONS TERROR AND
PANIC, AND DAUGHTER CLANCY) The oldest and most inscrutable empire
on the Discworld is in turmoil, brought about by the revolutionary
treatise What I did on My Holidays. Workers are uniting, with
nothing to lose but their water buffaloes. Warlords are struggling
for power. War (and Clancy) are spreading throughout the ancient
cities. And all that stands in the way of terrible doom for
everyone is: Rincewind the Wizard, who can't even spell the word
'wizard'... Cohen the barbarian hero, five foot tall in his
surgical sandals, who has had a lifetime's experience of not
dying... ...and a very special butterfly.
