Book description
'What shall we do?' said Twoflower.
'Panic?' said Rincewind hopefully. He always held that panic was

As it moves towards a seemingly inevitable collision with a
malevolent red star, the Discworld could do with a hero. What it
doesn't need is a singularly inept and cowardly wizard, still

well-meaning tourist and his luggage which has a mind (and legs) of
its own. Which is a shame because that's all there is...
