This is the Discworld’s last continent a completely separate creation. It’s hot. It’s dry…very dry. There was this thing once called the Wet which no-one now believes in. Practically everything that’s not poisonous is venomous. But it’s the best bloody place in the world all right? And it’ll die in a few days except…Who is this hero striding across the red desert? Champion sheep shearer horse rider road warrior beer drinker bush ranger and someone who’ll even eat a Meat Pie Floater when he’s sober? A man in a hat whose luggage follows him on little legs who’s about to change history by preventing a swagman stealing a jumbuck by a billabong? Yes…all this place has between itself and wind-blown doom is Rincewind the inept wizard who can’t even spell wizard. He’s the only hero left. Still…no worries eh? “The Last Continent” is the twenty-second in Terry Pratchett’s phenomenally successful “Discworld” series. Terry Pratchett would like it to be known that “The Last Continent” is not a book about Australia it’s just vaguely Australian.
