Publisher's Summary

"What shall we do?" said Twoflower.
"Panic?" said Rincewind hopefully. He always held that panic was the best means of survival."

When the very fabric of time and space are about to be put through the wringer, in this instance by the imminent arrival of a very large and determinedly oncoming meteorite, circumstances require a very particular type of hero. Sadly, what the situation does not need is a singularly inept wizard, still recovering from the trauma of falling off the edge of the world. Equally it does not need one well-meaning tourist and his luggage, which has a mind of its own¿which is a shame, because that's all there is.

Critic Reviews

"Pure fantastic delight. If Terry Pratchett had put quill to parchment before Douglas Adams, Ford Prefect would still be stranded in the galaxy with his thumb in the air." ( Time Out)

absolutely fantastic

Brilliant story by a brilliant story teller. I have never been able to read any of Terry Pratchett books due to dyslexia but always wanted to and I'm so very happy I found them all on here.

Ironic, derivative and FANTASTIC!

I really enjoyed this audiobook. A rip roaring dark satire of all things fantasy in a rich and creative universe that is all Terry Pratchett. Very funny and worth a listen.
