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.

What the critics say

"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)

beware the volume

very funny and enjoyable story, as with all the Discworld stories. the narration was good, but the volume control is horrible. I constantly had to change the volume up and down, as sometimes the narrator would be barely audible, and then almost screaming the next. thank goodness it was a short book, because I don't think I could have sat through that frustration for any length of time.
