The Light Fantastic

<p><strong>"Incredibly funny, compulsively readable"&nbsp;</strong><em>The Times </em><br /><br /><strong>The Discworld is very much like our own &acirc;&euro;&ldquo; 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 . . </strong><br /><br /><em>'What shall we do?' said <strong>Twoflower</strong>.</em><br /> <em>'Panic?' said <strong>Rincewind</strong> hopefully. He always held that panic was the best means of survival.</em><br /><br /> As it moves towards a seemingly inevitable collision with a malevolent red star, the <strong>Discworld </strong>could do with a hero. <br /><br />What it doesn&acirc;&euro;&trade;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. <br /><br />Which is a shame, because that's all there is . . . <br />____________________<br /><br /><em>The Discworld novels can be read in any order but <strong>The Light Fantastic </strong>is the second book in the Wizards series. </em></p>
