The Last Continent




The twenty-second Discworld novel and sixth in the Wizards series - revamped with a fresh bold look targeting a new generation of fantasy fans.

'Anything you do in the past changes the future. The tiniest little actions have huge consequences. You might tread on an ant now and it might entirely prevent someone from being born in the future.'
Rincewind, inept wizard and reluctant hero, has found himself magically stranded on the Discworld's last continent.

It's hot. It's dry. There was this thing once called The Wet, which no one believes in any more. Practically everything that's not poisonous is venomous. But it's the best bloody place in the world, all right?

And in a few days, it will die. The only thing standing between the last continent and wind-blown doom is Rincewind, and he can't even spell wizard. Still . . . no worries, eh?

'A minor masterpiece. I laughed so much I fell from my armchair' Time Out
'A master storyteller' A. S. Byatt

The Last Continent is the sixth book in the Wizards series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.

Praise for The Last Continent

Delightful...gleeful and downright mischievous

Sunday Telegraph

Pratchett's writing is a constant delight. No one mixes the fantastical and the mundane to better comic effect or offers sharper insights into the absurdities of human endeavour
