The sequel to The Colour of Magic, the Light Fantastic is the second adventure in Terry Pratchetts Discworld series, and continues the tale of Wizzard. 'Incredibly funny, compulsively readable' The Times The Discworld is very much like our own - if our own were to consist of a flat planet balanced on the back of four elephants which stand on the back of a giant turtle, that is. Which is a shame because that' s all there is. ![]() Unfortunately, this happens to be the singularly inept and cowardly wizard called Rincewind, who was last seen falling off the edge of the world. Equally it does not need one well-meaning tourist and his luggage which has a mind of its own. As it moves towards a seemingly inevitable collision with a malevolent red star, the Discworld has only one possible saviour. Terry Pratchetts profoundly irreverent novels are consistent number one bestsellers in England, where they have garnered him a revered position in the halls of parody next to Mark Twain, Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Adams, and Carl Hiaasen.In The Light Fantastic only one individual can save the world from a disastrous collision. Sadly what the situation does not need is a singularly inept wizard, still recovering from the trauma of falling off the edge of the world. When the very fabric of time and space are about to be put through the wringer - in this instance by the imminent arrival of a very large and determinedly oncoming meteorite - circumstances require a very particular type of hero. ![]()
