The Last Continent

The Discworld's most inept wizard has found himself on the Disc’s last continent.

Synopsis

This is the Discworld’s last continent. It’s hot. It’s dry . . . very dry. There was this thing once called The Wet, which no one believes in. Practically everything that’s not poisonous is venomous. But it’s the best bloody place in the world, all right?

And it’ll die in a few days. Except . . . who is this hero striding across the red desert? A man in a hat whose luggage follows him on little legs, who’s about to change history.

Yes, all this place has between itself and doom is Rincewind, the inept wizard who can’t even spell wizard. Still… no worries, eh?

The Discworld novels can be read in any order but The Last Continent is the sixth book in the Wizards series.

‘Pratchett uses his other world to hold up a distorting mirror to our own . . . he is a satirist of enormous talent.’
