Publisher Comments:
When a carrier albatross arrives with an urgent request for a "Great Wizard," Rincewind finds himself summoned to the endangered Empire of Hong, Sung, Fang, Tang and McSweeney, where a new Emperor is about to be chosen.
Accompanying Rincewind is Cohen the Barbarian, as well as an ant farm-powered computer named Hex, a fractal weather-making butterfly with mandelbrot wings, and a ferocious, if slow-moving army of six old men, the Silver horde.Their mission is to either defend or destroy the Forbidden City of Hunghung. The problem is, the instructions are not entirely clear...
Review:
"The funniest parodist working in the field today, period." New York Review of Science Fiction
Review:
"Terry Pratchett is more than a magician. He is the kindest, most fascinating teacher you ever had." Harlan Ellison
Review:
"Terry Pratchett does for fantasy what Douglas Adams did for science fiction." (-- Today)
Synopsis:
On Discworld, a bizarre planet carried through space on the backs of four elephants perched on a gigantic turtle, retirement is looking good to Wizard Rincewind. But when a nearly illegible and equally incomprehensible message from a lost (until now) continent arrives, his glorious leaders pack him off on an ill-considered diplomatic mission. Just what he is supposed to accomplish, no one can say. As the mystery grows ever more unfathomable, Rincewind is faced with yet another pressing question: What is that magical butterfly doing here, anyway?
