Bumbling wizard Rincewind and hapless tourist Twoflower have survived a host of misadventures . . . only to face annihilation as a red star hurtles towards the Discworld in this gloriously funny second installment in Sir Terry Pratchett´s Discworld series (also the second book in the Wizards collection) It´s just one of those days when nothing seems to go right--and a most inopportune time for the first tourist ever to set foot in Discworld--accompanied by the carnivorous Luggage--to extend his already eventful vacation, even if it´s not quite by choice. A monstrous red star is on a direct collision course with the Discworld and the future appears uncertain at best. Discworld needs a hero to save it from total destruction. Unfortunately, it´s got the bumbling Rincewind, still recovering from the trauma of falling off the edge of the world. The alternative couldn´t be much worse. . . .
