The Light Fantastic

As it moves towards a seemingly inevitable collision with a malevolent red star, the Discworld could do with a hero...

Synopsis

‘What shall we do?’ said Twoflower.

‘Panic?’ said Rincewind hopefully. He always held that panic was the best means of survival.

As it moves towards a seemingly inevitable collision with a malevolent red star, the Discworld could do with a hero.

What it doesn’t need is a singularly inept and cowardly wizard, still recovering from the trauma of falling off the edge of the world, or a well-meaning tourist and his luggage which has a mind (and legs) of its own.

Which is a shame, because that’s all there is…

The Discworld novels can be read in any order but The Light Fantastic is the second book in the Wizards series.

‘Incredibly funny, compulsively readable.’
