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)
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 his
daughter Clancy) are spreading through 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, and a very
special butterfly.
