About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

'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...

Critic reviews

He is a satirist of enormous talent..Incredibly funny, compulsively readable
He would be amusing in any form and his spectacular inventiveness makes the Discworld series one of the perennial joys of modern fiction
Pure fantastic delight

From start to finish I loved this book. Tony Robinson is a fantastic narrator and brought this whole thing to life. I'm looking forward to the next in the series. Terry Pratchetts books are up there with The Hobbit. And The Lord of the Rings. Magical!
