Chaos ensues when Discworld´s deliciously hapless wizard Rincewind goes walking about in the Down Under in this wonderfully witty satire from legendary internationally bestselling author Sir Terry Pratchett. There´s big trouble at the Unseen University, Ankh-Morpork´s prestigious and only institute of higher learning. A professor is missing--and the one person who can find him is not only the most bumbling magician the school ever produced, he´s currently stranded in Fourecks, Discworld´s last (and unfinished) continent. The down-under is hot (so hot) and it´s dry (so dry)--though it´s rumored there was once this thing called The Wet, but no one believes that. Practically everything here that´s not poisonous is venomous. Discworld´s most inept wizard and his companion, Luggage, are eager to get home--but first Rincewind has to survive a pushy mystical kangaroo trickster named Scrappy and a mob of Fourecks hooligans determined to hang him. All his problems would be solved if he could just make it rain . . . for (maybe) the first time ever. And if the time-traveling professors from UU working on rescuing him can get to the right millennium . . .
